Al- driven deoxydehydration (DODH) of glycols in the presence of pincer type mo-catalyst

Non-noble metal heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogen-driven deoxydehydration of vicinal diol compounds

“…The Mo centers in the complex catalysts are typically coordinated with a bulky ligand to stabilize the Mo complex. 38–44 Non-green reductants such as PPh 3 and metallic Al were used in these studies. The reported yields by the Mo complex catalysts were not high in comparison with the systems using homogeneous Re catalysts with the same reductants.…”
