	In this study, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) was obtained from glucose using tert-butoxyapatite, a heterogeneous catalyst. The tert-butoxyapatite catalyst was prepared and characterized by several techniques, such as XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, elemental mapping HR-TEM, N2-adsorption/desorption, XPS, and FT-IR. Several parameters were studied, such as temperature, catalyst loading, and glucose concentration. The tert-butoxyapatite catalyst having both acidic and basic sites gave a maximum glucose conversion of 87\% with a 48\% yield of HMF at 160 degrees C using 20 wt\% catalyst in 12 h. Reusability studies of the catalyst are also presented.</p>
