Abstract
The present invention relates to selective catalytic dehydroxylation method of aldaric acids for producing muconic acid and furan chemicals, which can be used directly in fine chemical and polymer applications (FCA/FDCA) and as intermediates in the preparation of industrially significant chemicals, such as terephthalic acid, adipic acid, caprolactone, caprolactam, nylon 6.6, 1,6-hexanediol and multiple pharmaceutical building blocks (MA/MAME).
