2,5-Dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF) and 5-hydroxymethylfuranoic acid (HMFA) are the versatile intermediate chemicals of high industrial potential. An efficient preparation of both DHMF and HMFA is reported from biomass-derived HMF via a Cannizzaro reaction using ionic liquids as a reusable reaction solvent under the water-free conditions. The operationally simple and environment-friendly process produces both DHMF and HMFA from HMF consistently in good to high yields up to five runs with the recycled ionic liquid.
