In this study, the reaction mechanism underlying the green synthesis of glutaric acid was studied via joint test technology. Density functional theory calculations were used to verify the mechanism. Quantitative analysis of glutaric acid via infrared spectroscopy and HPLC was established. The linear correlation between the two methods was good, from 0.01 to 0.25 g mL-1. The analysis results of the two methods were consistent as the reaction progressed.
