Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The behavior of the amide of white birch xylan was studied under conditions of the Hofmann rearrangement with subsequent mild hydrolysis.

  2. 2.

    In this way, virtually quantitative cleavage of the glucuronic bond is obtained under conditions when other types of glycoside bonds are stable.
