Disclosed are a method for producing lactic acid from wastes containing cellulose and/or hemicellulose and a catalyst for thermochemical conversion reaction of wastes containing cellulose and/or hemicellulose. The method includes a step of adding a metal catalyst to wastes containing cellulose and/or hemicellulose and performing thermochemical conversion reaction. The method provides an effect of producing lactic acid from discarded wastes, e.g., waste paper such as waste corrugated paperboards, waste paper boxes, waste newspapers, etc.

A benzene compound is prepared by reacting a furan compound to produce an unsaturated bicyclic ether having an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond; hydrogenating the unsaturated carbon-carbon bond in the unsaturated bicyclic ether to produce a saturated bicyclic ether; and dehydrating and aromatizing the saturated bicyclic ether to produce the benzene compound.
