Abstract

Abstract Glucosyloxymethylfurfural (GMF) is the glucosylated analogue of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and is obtained in one step from the very available disaccharide isomaltulose. This account gives an overview on the preparation and the uses of GMF towards architectures containing a carbohydrate moiety and shows that rather elaborated targets can be synthesized from GMF in very short sequences. A special focus is made on carbon–carbon formation on the aldehyde group leading to new biobased acrylic derivatives by the Baylis–Hillman reaction.
