The heterogeneous metal‐organic framework Bi‐BTC successfully catalyzed the synthesis of para ‐xylene from bio‐based 2,5‐dimethylfuran and acrylic acid in a promising yield (92 %), under relatively mild conditions (160 °C, 10 bar), and with a low reaction‐energy barrier (47.3 kJ mol −1 ). The proposed reaction strategy also demonstrates a remarkable versatility for furan derivatives such as furan and 2‐methylfuran.
