Direct conversion of glycerol into formic acid via water stable Pd(II) catalyzed oxidative carbonacarbon bond cleavage

Using our tridentate NHC-amidateaalkoxide Pd(II) complex, we developed a catalytic method for oxidative CaC bond cleavage of glycerol. The glycerol was degraded exclusively to formic acid and CO2. Two possible degradation pathways were proposed through 13C labeled studies.
