This manuscript presents results from the investigation on the synthesis of alkyl xylosides by the novel, very efficient and promising protocol of the Fischer synthesis from unprotected xylose and aliphatic alcohol. The use of 1‐alkyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ionic liquids as the catalysts with dual functionality (surfactant + acid catalyst) and micellar reaction system are the main novelty of described method. It has been found that in developed method of the synthesis of alkyl xylosides the reaction of unprotected xylose with aliphatic alcohols carried out in mild reaction conditions and leads to alkyl xylosides with high yields. In progress analyses by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC/MS) confirm the general postulated pathway of developed method.
