Abstract
Catalytic deoxydehydration (DODH) of vicinal diols is studied. We find that NH4ReO4 (ammonium perrhenate, APR) catalyzes the DODH of glycols to alkenes by sacrificial alcohol (2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanol) at 140–165°C. The product yields range from good to excellent and no isomers detected. The catalytic DODH reaction of glycols to alkene is of potential value for the production of chemicals and fuels from the renewable biomass-derived polyols. [Display omitted]
