Deoxydehydration of vicinal diols by homogeneous catalysts: a mechanistic overview

Deoxydehydration (DODH) is an important reaction for the upconversion of biomass-derived polyols to commodity chemicals such as alkenes and dienes. DODH can be performed by a variety of early metal-oxo catalysts incorporating Re, Mo and V. The varying reduction methods used in the DODH catalytic cyc...
