Gold Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Environmentally Benign Deoxygenation of Epoxides to Alkenes

Gold Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Environmentally Benign Deoxygenation of Epoxides to Alkenes

We have developed a highly efficient and green catalytic deoxygenation of epoxides to alkenes using gold nanoparticles (NPs) supported on hydrotalcite [HT: Mg6Al2CO3(OH)16] (Au/HT) with alcohols, CO/H2O or H2 as the reducing reagent. Various epoxides were selectively converted to the corresponding a...
