The major product from pyrolysis of acid-doped cellulose is levoglucosenone (1) which is now shown to undergo, under the conditions of its formation, deformylation to 3-oxidopyrylium (2).Five dimers of this ylide (2), and an adduct (17) of it and levoglucosenone (1), have now been isolated from the product of phosphoric acid-catalysed pyrolysis of cellulose.Sealed tube pyrolysis of (1) yielded the adduct (17) and its isomer (18).
