Abstract

Selective conversions of biorenewable materials for chemical feedstock and energy applications require chemical control of oxygen-and nitrogen-containing functional groups. Reductive catalytic transformations for their removal, such as hydrodeoxygenation and hydrodenitrogenation, generally require a terminal stoichiometric reductant such as hydrogen.[1] Alternative catalytic reactions which affect defunctionalization could be ...
