Chemoselective microwave‐assisted transesterification of 6,1‐lactone derived from glucuronic acid is catalyzed by reusable Dawson‐type polyoxometalates. These catalysts allow the formation of pseudo‐disaccharides from easily available precursors. This permits the expeditious assembly of promising building blocks from precursors obtained from biomass, with easy recycling of the catalyst.
