5-Ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) is considered to be a promising liquid biofuel that can replace the petroleum-based chemicals. In recent years, the synthesis of EMF from biomass resources has attracted more and more attentions at home and abroad. Currently, EMF was mainly obtained from the acid-catalyzed conversion of biomass-derived carbohydrates (e.g., fructose, glucose, sucrose, inulin) in ethanol medium. In this review, the chemical reaction process and the latest research progress in regard to EMF synthesis are introduced mainly from the starting materials, catalytic synthesis technology, catalytic behavior and characteristics, and economic feasibility. Based on the present research progress, the technology and engineering barriers for the conversion of biomass resources to yield EMF in commercial scales are analyzed and discussed, and the future research trend in this field is prospected. It is pointed out that future studies should be focus on developing high efficiency and environmental friendliness strategies for the synthesis of EMF from abundant and accessible biomass resources.
