METHOD FOR PRODUCING 2,5-FURANDICARBOXYLIC DIESTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method by which a 2,5-furandicarboxylic diester promising as a chemical from a biomass resource is commercially advantageously produced in a simple step using an inexpensive raw material. SOLUTION: The 2,5-furandicarboxylic diester represented by general formula (3) is produced by reacting galactaric acid represented by formula (1) with an aliphatic alcohol represented by general formula (2): R-OH (wherein R represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group).
