Catalytic strategies were developed to synthesize and release chemicals for applications in fine chemicals, such as drugs and polymers, from a biomass-derived chemical, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF). The combination of the diene and aldehyde functionalities in HMF enabled catalytic production of acetalized HMF derivatives with diol or epoxy reactants to allow reversible synthesis of norcantharimide derivatives upon Diels-Alder reaction with maleimides. Reverse-conversion of the acetal group to an aldehyde yielded mismatches o
