Hydrogenolysis of alcohols

This section lists examples of the hydrogenolysis of alcohols and phenols (ROH -> R-H). 

Hydrogenolysis of alcohols 0-81 Reductive cleavage of carboxylic esters... 

Hydrogenolysis. Rosenmund found that Pd-BaS04 catalyst can be markedly activated for the hydrogenolysis of alcohols of the type ArCH(OH)— by addition of... 

Zeolites have also been used for the hydrogenolysis of alcohols. For example, hydrogenolysis of 2-phenylethanol was achieved over Cs-exchanged zeolite X catalyst [15],... 

This section lists examples of the hydrogenolysis of alcohols and phenols, ROH — RH and RR CHOH — RH (R alkyl or aryl, R =H or aryl). For the conversion ROH — RR (R =alkyl or aryl) see section 63 (Alkyls and Aryls from Alcohols)... 

Asymmetric furans 79a and 79b were prepared as shown in Scheme 14.27 [70]. A one-pot sequence comprising monolithiation of furan (15) and alkylation of the resulting lithiofuran 78 with 1-bromohexane gave 2-hexylfuran (79a) in 43% yield. Then, a second lithiation of 79a followed by reaction of the resulting lithiofuran 80 with acetone and hydrogenolysis of alcohol 81 over Pd/C yielded 2-hexyl-5-isopropylfuran (79b) in 34% three-step yield from 79a. Reaction of 2,6-naphthodiyne equivalent 39 (0.5 equiv) with asymmetric furans 79 in the presence of KF and 18-crown-6 in THF at room temperature furnished a mixture of bis(furan)...
