Abstract: Adipic acid (AA) is an extremely important chemical raw material and organic synthesis intermediate，and the global consumption shows a steady growth trend in recent years. Much attention has been paid for its green synthesis process because of disadvantages of current processes in environmental pollution. The paper summarizes the research progress of clean synthesis of adipic acid in terms of different raw materials and catalytic systems，and the synthesis routes of adipic acid are introduced in which cyclohexane，cyclohexanol，cyclohexene，or butadiene are used as substrate and dioxygen，hydrogen peroxide or ozone as oxidant in the presence of different catalytic systems. The advantages and disadvantages of various synthesis methods are analyzed. The development prospect of one-step green catalytic synthesis of adipic acid from cyclohexane is very good among these routes. It could be the best method and idea for commercial production of adipic acid in the future.
