Abstract

Abstract: An efficient strategy for the conversion of biomass derived 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2‐hydroxy‐3‐methylcyclopent‐2‐enone (MCP) by an intramolecular aldol condensation of 1‐hydroxyhexane‐2, 5‐dione (HHD) has been developed. Further transformations of MCP towards the diol, enol acetate, levulinic acid and N‐heterocyclic compounds are also reported.
