Catalytic deoxygenation of alcohols and ketones promoted by a new scandium / hydrosilane system
Abstract
The rarefaction of carbon fossil resources calls for the use of alternative raw material sources for the production of fuels and chemicals. In this context, biomass waste constitutes a renewable source of carbon and is considered one of the most promising feedstock to the sustainable production of chemicals, both from an economic and environmental standpoint. Nevertheless, molecules derived from biomass present a higher degree of functionalization than petrochemicals and they possess numerous oxidized groups, such as alcohols, carbonyls, ethers, etc. The selective reduction and deoxygenation of C-O and C=O bonds is thus a challenge to benefit from biomass derived products
