title: Novel Stereoselective Reaction of Levoglucosenone with Furfural.
abstract: Levoglucosenone reacted with furfural in the presence of an aqueous base to give a product in high yield with high stereoselectivity. The structure, including the stereochemistry of the product, was elucidated by NMR analyses.
