<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel method for producing succinic acid from a furan derivative at high yield in simple steps. <P>SOLUTION: The production method includes a step for producing succinic acid by oxidizing the furan derivative in an aqueous solvent containing an oxidizer and a solid catalyst. The solid catalyst is a polymer having a sulfo group, and hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidizer. The furan derivative includes, as an example, furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and 2-furoic acid. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
