BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, lactones used as useful industrial intermediates and solvents have been produced industrially by reducing dibasic carboxylic acids or their anhydrides with hydrogen. However, if the reaction progresses too much, it will be reduced to a diol, so it is necessary to find a way to stop the reaction midway through, and furthermore, it is necessary to synthesize a compound with a small molecular weight from a compound with a large molecular weight using expensive hydrogen. This can be said to be a method that is economically disadvantageous.
