Methods to break C–C bonds are an emerging class of reactions that enables chemists to have a greater amount of retrosynthetic flexibility. Enzymes in Nature have taken advantage of such reactions to enable transformations like the removal of methyl groups. This poster will describe the development of metal hydride catalysts for transfer hydroformylation, where aldehydes and alcohols can be dehomologated to form the corresponding olefin. Different acceptors can be used with the chemistry, enabling new catalytic pathways and reactivity.<br/>
