| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a new reaction system for the production of furan dicarboxylic acid and its alkyl esters from glucose using heterogeneous catalysts. The combination of materials science and catalytic chemistry will enable the design of new catalytic materials and catalytic reactions, while theoretical calculations for clarifying reaction dynamics with catalytic active site and substrate/intermediates will support experimental results to be well-understood at the molecular level. Acetal protection strategy will control side reactions and contribute predominantly to the selective production of target furan compounds in concentrated solutions. The technologies developed in this research can be beneficial for the industrial implementation of the furan compounds in the production of biobased polymers.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
世界的な競争が激化する現在でも，フランジカルボン酸の大量合成を可能にする技術開発は開発されていなかった．我々の“アセタール保護を利用した酸化・酸化的エステル化反応”は環境負荷および生産性の観点から非常に優れた技術であり，実用プロセス設計の基盤となる．踏み込んだコスト削減やプロセスの簡略化など更なる研究は必要となるが，化石資源由来のテレフタル酸を基盤とした芳香族ポリマーを再生可能な炭素資源であるバイオマス由来品に代替する基盤技術の確立が加速すると考えている．
