Abstract: 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)is an important bio-based platform chemical. Oxidation of HMF to furan chemicals is a crucial developing orientation of biomass conversion. In recent years,with the advantages of high selectivity,mild reaction conditions,and environment friendly,the biocatalytic oxidation of HMF has attracted extensive attentions. In this paper,we reviewed the discovery of biotransformation process,microbial metabolism,whole-cell biotransformation and the enzymatic catalytic oxidation of HMF. Finally,we provided the development prospect of bio-catalytic oxidation of HMF in the future,aiming at providing the theoretical foundation for the green and efficient conversion of HMF to furan bulk chemicals.

Key words: 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, biocatalytic oxidation, furan bulk chemicals
