Abstract: The processes of the conversion of biomass-based platforms molecules 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF) and levulinic acid(LA) to chemicals were reviewed.This paper mainly included HMF to 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid, 2, 5-diformylfuran and 2, 5-dimethylfuran and LA to esters, acids, pyrrolidione and diphenolic acid.The use, producing process and the existing problems were briefly introduced.The object of this paper aimed to provide the guiding significance for developing the industrial production process of bio based chemicals from biomass platform molecules.

Key words: 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, levulinic acid, chemicals
