The reaction between cyclopentanone and furfural produces a mixture of products. Cyclopentanone undergoes nucleophilic addition with furfural at the carbonyl carbon, producing an alcohol. Further dehydration occurs, resulting in an unsaturated aldehyde and water. Purification by distillation provides the major product, a substituted furan.
