5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile renewable base chemical, which can be produced by the acid-catalyzed dehydration of fructose. At this time HMF cannot yet compete with oil-based analogues, such as p-xylene, due to the high costs of production. Future incentives to encourage the transition to a bio-based economy may increase the...
