The raw materials used may contain up to 50 wt% of oxygen. In this chapter, some practical methods for the selective catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of phenols and alcohols to give arenes and alkanes, respectively, and the deoxydehydration of diols using hydrogen gas or transfer-hydrogenation methods are described.
