A new method for the synthesis of 5,5′‐oxydimethylenebis (2‐furfural) by thermal dehydration of 5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐furfural in the presence of dimethyl‐sulfoxide is described. Optimum conditions are studied by experimental design. Reaction media present a high concentration of HMF. Reaction is supposed to be rapid. Yields reach 55% with a 84% selectivity.
