Nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt–molybdenum bimetallic catalysts (abbreviated as Co–Mo/NC) are active for the hydrodeoxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfides under mild conditions (25–80 °C and 10 bar H2), which represents the first example of the use of heterogeneous non-noble metal catalysts for this transformation. MoO3 with Lewis acid sites assists the hydrodeoxygenation of sulfoxides into sulfides by hydrogen over cobalt nanoparticles.
