5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a valuable biomass-derived building block. Among possible HMF valorization products, a broad range of HMF esters can be synthesized. These HMF esters have found some promising applications, such as monomers, fuels, additives, surfactants, and fungicides, and thus several catalytic approaches for HMF (trans)esterifications have been reported. The intrinsic reactivity of HMF is challenging, forcing the use of mild reaction conditions to avoid by-product formation. This paper explores the lipase-catalyzed (trans)esterification of HMF with different acyl donors (carboxylic acids and methyl- and ethyl esters) mostly in solvent-free conditions. The results demonstrate that lipases may be promising alternatives for the synthesis of HMF esterswith high productivities and reactions at high substrate loadingsprovided that robust systems for lipase immobilization are applied to assure an adequate reusability of the enzymes. Once (trans)esterifications have been conducted, the separation of unreacted HMF and HMF esters is performed by using deep-eutectic solvents (DES) as separation agents. DES are able to dissolve hydrogen-bond donors (e.g., HMF), whereas non-hydrogen-bond donors (in this case HMF esters) form a second phase. By using this approach, high ester purities (>99%) and efficiencies (up to >90% HMF ester recovery) in separations were obtained by using choline chloride-based DES.
