Deoxydehydration (DODH) is an important reaction for the upconversion of biomass-derived polyols to commodity chemicals such as alkenes and dienes. DODH can be performed by a variety of early metal-oxo catalysts incorporating Re, Mo and V. The varying reduction methods used in the DODH catalytic cycle impact the product distribution, reaction mechanism and the overall yield of the reaction. This review surveys the reduction methods commonly used in homogeneous DODH catalyst systems and their impacts on yield and reaction conditions.
