Controlling reaction pathways of selective C–O bond cleavage of glycerol

The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction is an important pathway to upgrade glycerol, but a fundamental explanation for the selectivity toward breaking different number and type of the CO bonds is still lacking. Here, the authors explore the possibility of tuning the HDO selectivity by manipulating the...

Description
Summary:The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction is an important pathway to upgrade glycerol, but a fundamental explanation for the selectivity toward breaking different number and type of the CO bonds is still lacking. Here, the authors explore the possibility of tuning the HDO selectivity by manipulating the surface oxophilicity.
