This review paper presents the current state of the art on maleic acid synthesis from biomass-derived chemicals over homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts. It is based on the most recent publications on the topic, which are discussed in details with respect to the observed catalytic performances. The recent developments and the technical drawbacks in the gas and the liquid phases are also reported. In addition, recent results on the mechanistic aspect are discussed giving insights into the probable reaction mechanisms depending on the starting molecule (furan, furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural).
