An object of the invention is to provide a method of uniformly and efficiently producing a saccharide having a sulfate group and/or a phosphate group in the molecule, or a compound containing the saccharide. [Solution] The present invention provides a method of producing a saccharide having a sulfate group and/or a phosphate group. The method comprises (a) a step of preparing a first saccharide having a non-protected sulfate group and/or a non-protected phosphate group and a second saccharide having a non-protected sulfate group and/or a non-protected phosphate group and (b) a step of condensing the first saccharide and the second saccharide prepared in the step (a) with each other.

The present invention provides a method of preparing a furan derivative comprising the steps of (a) converting a monosaccharide to provide a keto-intermediate product; and (b) dehydrating the keto-intermediate product to provide a furan derivative; wherein the keto-intermediate product is pre-disposed to forming keto-furanose tautomers in solution. The method may further comprise a step of oxidizing the furan derivative to provide a furandicarboxylic acid or a furandicarboxylic acid derivative.
