Mild and efficient CO-mediated eliminative deoxygenation of epoxides catalyzed by supported gold nanoparticles.
Supported gold nanoparticles (NPs), which are well-known epoxidation catalysts, were found to be exceptionally active for the selective deoxygenation of epoxides into alkenes using cheap and easily accessible CO and H(2)O as the reductant.
