The Inside Back Cover shows a van Krevelen diagram where it is clear that the deoxydehydration reaction (DODH, green arrows) furnishes a dramatic change in the H/C and O/C ratio for various biomass constituents. It is compared to dehydration (blue arrows) and reduction (red arrows). Although the DODH reaction is formally the sum of a reduction and a dehydration, the use of a one‐step transformation can be advantageous, for example in the direct conversion of glycerol to allyl alcohol. The DODH reaction is discussed in the Minireview by Dethlefsen and Fristrup on page 767 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201402987 ).
