Abstract

A survey of several metavandate (VO3(-)) and chelated dioxovanadium derivatives shows that tetrabutylammonium dioxovanadium(V)dipicolinate most effectively catalyzes the deoxydehydration (DODH) of glycols to olefins in moderate to excellent yields with triphenylphosphine or sodium sulfite as reductants.
