Abstract

When a 4-halogenoorthophthalic acid salt is dissolved together with a base in an alkaline aqueous solution and the solution is heated in the presence of a catalyst comprising a noble metal supported on a carrier, a formic acid salt and a small amount of an aliphatic compound containing a hydroxyl group, a 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid salt is obtained in a high yield.
