Abstract
The acid-catalyzed dehydration of glucose to hydroxymethylfurfural (6) can occur via two possible mechanisms. 3-deoxy-D-erythro-hex-2-ulose (3) is found to be an intermediate in the formation of 6 from glucose (1). This finding implies that elimination of the glucose 3-OH group is the important step, rather than isomerization of the carbonyl group.
