Abstract

A novel method for the deoxydehydration (DODH) of diols to alkenes has been developed by using hydrazine as a reductant via HOME (hydrazone as an organometallic equivalent) chemistry catalyzed by Ru-PNP complexes. This process avoids harsh reaction conditions, minimizes waste, and can be applied to a variety of diol compounds.
