“…Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable energy resource relative to fossil fossil sources. Meanwhile, due to the high oxygen content, the hydrogenation of biomass is of high importance to the biomass utilization for obtaining analogous fossil-based chemical products, such as the hydrogenation of lignin-derived guaiacol, which enables the production of benzene and phenol. , 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a biobased derivative from dehydration of carbohydrates, − is classified by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of the “Top 10 + 4” most value-added biobased compounds due to the presence of three functional groups, aldehydes, hydroxyl, and furan ring, thereby exhibiting a strong reactivity. − Thus, HMF can be further hydrogenated to 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF), tetrahydrofuran-2,5-dimethanol (THFDM), 5-methylfurfural (MF), 5-methylfurfuryl alcohol (MFA), 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), and other high-value chemicals. − Among them, the selective hydrogenation from HMF to THFDM has attracted extensive attention for its wide application as fuel feedstock, plasticizers, surfactants, and an alternative monomer to prepare biobased polymers (e.g., a biomass-derived substitute for bisphenol A) in the resin and textile polymerization industry. ,− Compared to DHMF, the total hydrogenated THFDM exhibits higher stability and versatility with intrinsic chirality; thus, the hydrogenation of HMF to THFDM is really desirable. − …”
