Trioxo-rhenium complexes are well known catalysts for the deoxydehydration (DODH) of vicinal diols (glycols). In this work, we report on the DODH of diols and biomass-derived polyols using Cp<sup>tt</sup>ReO<sub>3</sub> as a new catalyst (Cp<sup>tt</sup>=1,3-di-<i>tert</i>-butylcyclopentadienyl). The DODH reaction was optimized using 2 mol % of Cp<sup>tt</sup>ReO<sub>3</sub> and 3-octanol as both reductant and solvent. The Cp<sup>tt</sup>ReO<sub>3</sub> catalyst exhibits an excellent activity fo ...[more]
