2. Description of the Related Art In converting a primary alcohol into a carboxylic acid, a heavy metal oxidant such as permanganate or dichromate is often used. However, in the method using these oxidizing agents, in addition to the yield and selectivity of the target compound not being sufficiently high, a post-treatment of the reaction is complicated because an expensive and harmful reagent requires a stoichiometric amount, There were many drawbacks such as producing a large amount of industrial waste.

On the other hand, as a technique for solving the above-mentioned drawbacks, a method of oxidizing an aromatic alcohol to obtain a phenylacetic acid derivative, and oxidizing it with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a noble metal catalyst (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 52-10233), platinum. Alternatively, a method of adding lead or a lead compound as a co-catalyst to palladium and oxidizing it with an oxygen-containing gas (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 54-132547) is disclosed. Although these methods have been improved in that a carboxylic acid derivative is produced in a relatively high yield with an inexpensive oxidizing agent, in addition to the fact that an expensive precious metal-based catalyst still has to be used in a relatively large amount, It is difficult to recover and reuse the catalyst due to the remarkable deactivation of the catalyst. Therefore, the amount of carboxylic acid obtained per unit weight of the catalyst metal is extremely small, resulting in high cost, and it has not yet become an industrially advantageous technique.

Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
As a result of detailed study of the technique described in JP-A-4-132547, it was found that there is a close relationship between the decrease in the activity of the catalyst and the conversion rate of the raw material alcohol. That is, although it depends on the type of the raw material alcohol and the oxygen concentration in the reaction solution, for example, it was found that the catalyst is inactivated when the conversion rate exceeds 95% and the concentration of oxides becomes smaller than the oxygen concentration. It has been found that this tendency is particularly remarkable under the condition that 100% of the raw material alcohol is converted into a product, and the reuse of the recovered catalyst becomes impossible. Further, by analyzing the deactivated catalyst, it was found that the cause of the decrease in the catalytic activity was that the surface of the catalyst was irreversibly oxidized by oxygen to form a layer of palladium oxide or platinum oxide.
