<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>2,5‐Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a bio‐based platform chemical for the production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF) and other valuable furanic chemicals. A magnetic laccase catalyst with (2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐piperidin‐1‐yl)oxyl (TEMPO) as the mediator has the remarkable capability of oxidizing 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Under optimal reaction conditions, a quantitative yield (90.2 %) of FDCA with complete HMF conversion was obtained after 96 h of reaction. More importantly, the magnetic laccase catalyst exhibited good recyclability and stability, maintaining 84.8 % of its original activity following six reuse cycles. This is the first report on the efficient catalytic oxidation of HMF to FDCA by using an immobilized enzyme catalyst.</P>
