Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing 3-hydroxypropionic acid in high yield by using 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde as a 3C constituent. SOLUTION: The objective 3-hydroxypropionic acid or its salt is produced by using 3 hydroxypropionaldehyde as a 3C constituent and at least 10wt.% catalyst expressed in terms of a noble metal based on the 3C constituent when the 3C constituent is catalytically oxidized with oxygen or a gas containing the oxygen in aqueous phase in the presence of the catalyst containing the noble metal of the platinum group, and further the objective 3-hydroxypropionic acid or its salt is isolated from the reaction mixture. Moreover, preferably, the catalyst is used in the amount corresponding to 20-50wt.% based on the 3C constituent and a supported catalyst containing platinum is especially used as the catalyst. The catalytic oxidation is preferably performed without regulating the pH at a temperature within a range of 20-60 deg.C.
