Highly efficient rhenium catalysts were developed for the first time in this work to produce adipic acid from muconic acid, a feedstock derived from renewable biomass, which can serve as an alternative to the non-environmental friendly nitric acid oxidation of cyclohexne process and integrates well into the future biomass economy.
