Reactions taking place with cleavage of the C-Fur bond are examined. It was established that disproportionation in two directions, leading to the formation of tris(5-methyl-2-furyl)methane, takes place when 3,4-dimethoxyphenylbis(5-methyl-2-furyl)methane is boiled in an acidic medium. The acid-catalyzed reaction of 5-methylfurfural with ethylene glycol leads to the formation of either 2-(5-methyl-2-furyl)-1,3-dioxolane or tris(5-methyl-2-furyl)methane, depending on the catalyst. The treatment of 2-(5-methyl-2-furyl)-1,3-dioxolane or gemtris(5·methyl-2-furyl)ethane with trityl perchlorate leads to tris(5-methyl-2-furyl)carbenium or bis(5-methyl-2-furyl)methylcarbenium perchlorates respectively. 1996 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
