Abstract
The development of efficient biomass valorization is imperative for the future sustainable production of chemicals and fuels. Particularly, the last decade has witnessed the development of a plethora of effective and selective transformations of bio-based furanics using homogeneous organometallic catalysis under mild conditions. In this review, we describe some of the advances regarding the conversion of target furanics into value chemicals, monomers for high-performance polymers and materials, and pharmaceutical key intermediates using homogeneous catalysis. Finally, the incorporation of furanic skeletons into complex chemical architectures by multifunctionalization routes is also described.

The transition from a fossil-based economy to a bio-based society represents a fundamental goal to diminish environmental issues and reduce the strong dependency on petrochemicals [1]
The replacement of fossil-based fuels and materials with biofuels and bioproducts is of paramount importance for this transition

Summary
The transition from a fossil-based economy to a bio-based society represents a fundamental goal to diminish environmental issues and reduce the strong dependency on petrochemicals [1]. Furanics can be produced from non-edible biomass and provide opportunities for sustainable new products often with unique properties that can be used, for example, in the polymer, solvent, and surfactant industries [17,18]. In this context, cellulose- and hemicellulose-derived furans, namely, furfural (FAL), methyl furfural (MF), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (DHMF), furfuryl alcohol (FA), 5-methyl furfuryl alcohol (MFA), and 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) already represent neous [8,9,10,11] and heterogeneous [15], electrocatalysis [16](Figure in different reaction an important class of bio-basedcatalysis substrates forand modern biorefineries.
