A catalytic system designed for mild hydrodeoxygenation of ketones to olefins was investigated. Hydrogenation of ketones to alcohols was accomplished over metal catalysts and the alcohol produced was then dehydrated over acidic catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
