Aqueous hydrogenation of bio-based succinic acid has been reported for the production of value added chemicals, e.g. 1,4-butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, γ-butyrolactone, 2-pyrrolidone or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. A variety of heterogeneous metallic catalysts, active under quite severe conditions have previously been studied, whereas research into organometallic complexes is thus far limited to solvent reactions or to aqueous reactions producing succinic acid.

Abstract from Methods in Organic Synthesis 2009

A review, with 77 references, covering "green chemistry" aqueous media catalytic reactions for transforming bio-derived succinic acid into value added chemicals such as 1,4-butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, γ-butyrolactone, 2-pyrrolidone or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
