Biomass assumes an increasingly vital role in the realm of renewable energy and sustainable development due to its abundant availability, renewability, and minimal environmental impact. Within this context, 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), derived from sugar dehydration, stands out as a critical bio‐derived product. It serves as a pivotal multifunctional platform compound, integral in synthesizing various vital chemicals, including furan‐based polymers, fine chemicals, and biofuels. The high reactivity of HMF, attributed to its highly active aldehyde, hydroxyl, and furan ring, underscores the challenge of selectively regulating its conversion to obtain the desired products. This review highlights the research progress on efficient catalytic systems for HMF synthesis, oxidation, reduction, and etherification. Additionally, it outlines the techno‐economic analysis (TEA) and prospective research directions for the production of furan‐based chemicals. Despite significant progress in catalysis research, and certain process routes demonstrating substantial economics, with key indicators surpassing petroleum‐based products, a gap persists between fundamental research and large‐scale industrialization. This is due to the lack of comprehensive engineering research on bio‐based chemicals, making the commercialization process a distant goal. These findings provide valuable insights for further development of this field.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

A tandem catalyst system comprised of trifluoromethanesulfonic (triflic acid, HOTf) or Hafnium tetratriflate (Hf(OTf)4) and Ru/C in glacial acetic acid (HOAc) as the solvent at 200 °C and ~ 7 MPa hydrogen pressure in a batch reactor converts penta‐acetyl‐xylitol ((2R,3R,4S)‐Pentane‐1,2,3,4,5‐penta‐acetoxy‐pentane) or unprotected xylitol to 3‐acetoxymethylene‐tetrahydrofuran (3‐AMT) in up to 15 % yield at full conversion. A comparative analysis by SEM‐EDS and XPS of the fresh commercial Ru/C catalyst vs catalyst reused and recovered after 5 cycles shows increasing aggregation of ruthenium to larger particles with a concomitant decrease in yield of 3‐AMT to 8‐9 % for cycles 4 and 5. 3‐AMT or its hydrolysis product 3‐hydroxymethyl‐tetrahydrofuran (3‐HMT) are valuable synthons for the preparation of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and specialty polyurethanes and polyesters.
