Direct Deoxydehydration of Cyclic Trans-Diol Substrates: An Experimental and Computational Study of the Reaction Mechanism of vanadium(V)-Based Catalysis
Abstract:<p>The deoxydehydration of carbohydrates represents a key target to leverage
renewable biomass resources chemically. Using a vanadium(V)-based catalyst, we demonstrate
that it is possible to directly deoxydehydrate <i>trans</i>-cyclic diol substrates. Accompanying mechanistic
characterisation of this process by density functional calculations points to an
energetically tractable route for deoxydehydration of cyclic <i>trans</i>-diol substrates involving stepwise
cleavage of the di… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
