Compounds of formula III: This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/320,087 that was filed on Apr. 8, 2016. The entire content of the application referenced above is hereby incorporated by referenced herein.Itaconic acid (or itaconate, depending on its prevailing ionization state; Medway, A. M., Sperry, 2014, 16, 2084-2101) and furfural (Cai, C. M., et al., 2014, 89, 2-10) are two chemicals abundantly available from biomass. They are prominent entries on master lists of privileged compounds for potential use in preparing bio-sourced/sustainable/renewable polymers and materials (e.g., Ritter, S. K., Chem. 2004, 82, 31-34; Top value added chemicals from biomass, Volume I-Results of screening for potential candidates from sugars and synthesis gas. eds. Werpy T., Petersen, G., US Department of Energy, 2004. nrel.gov/docs/fy04osti/35523.pdf (accessed Jan. 15, 2016)). The first arises by metabolic pathways as textbook as the citric acid (also known as the tricarboxylic or Krebs) cycle; the second by acid-catalyzed dehydration of 5-carbon sugars prevalent in, for example, corncobs (Adams, R., Voorhees, V., , Vol. 1, 1921, 49) and oat husks. For a century it has been known that each of itaconic anhydride (1, IA) and furfuryl alcohol (2, FA) is readily available by simple conversions such as dehydration (Fittig R., et al., 1904, 331, 151-196) and reduction (Kaufmann W. E., Adams, R., 1923, 45, 3029-3044) of these abundantly available precursors (Scheme 1).The Diels-Alder (DA) [4+2] cycloaddition reaction to produce cyclohexene derivatives is among the most iconic of all reactions in organic chemistry. The ability of IA to function as a dienophile, the 2π-component, to engage various dienes was, in fact, described in the ground-breaking first publication by Diels and Alder (Diels O., Alder K., 1928, 460, 98-122). The use of furan as a diene, the 4π-component, was reported one year later in their second paper on the subject of “hydroaromatic ...
