Abstract

Abstract: As one of important bio-based platform chemicals, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) could be produced by dehydration of renewable biomass carbohydrates. HMF could catalyze synthesis of a series of important organic chemical intermediates, and has become a research hot topic. Research progress of preparations from 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and 1,6-hexanediol (HDO), as three important HMF derivatives is reviewed, especially the catalytic system for HMF selective oxidation of preparing DFF and FDCA. Related application of the three important organic chemical intermediates is introduced, and problems and difficulties in the preparation process are analyzed to provide advices for further research. HMF is not large-scale produced so it is very expensive, which restricts the development of downstream products. The research using 5-hydroxymethyl furfural to catalyze synthesis of organic chemical products from biomass materials will have broad prospect.
