Sugar and Spice…: The use of renewable resources to produce fine chemicals is an underdeveloped area. A waste‐free technology will be necessary to further convert platform chemicals, readily available from biomass. We show that furfurals, which can be obtained from C 5 sugars, can be coupled with terpenes in up to 95 % yield through ruthenium‐catalyzed reductive couplings developed by Krische et al.
