Herein we report an efficient hydrosilylation strategy to selectively defunctionalize biomass‐derived levulinic acid into value‐added chemicals such as pentane‐1,4‐diol, pentan‐2‐ol, 2‐MTHF and C 5 hydrocarbons by using cost‐effective silanes and the commercially available catalyst B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 at room temperature. All reactions work well in chlorinated solvents but, as a greener alternative, most reactions can be run in toluene or solvent‐less.
