    Abstract Hydrodeoxygenation chemistries play a key role in the upgrading of biomass‐derived feedstocks. Among these, the removal of targeted hydroxyl groups through selective C−O bond cleavage from molecules containing multiple functionalities over heterogeneous catalysts has shown to be a challenge. Herein, we report a highly selective and stable heterogeneous catalyst for hydrodeoxygenation of tartaric acid to succinic acid. The catalyst consists of reduced Mo5+centers promoted by palladium, which facilitate selective C−O bond cleavage, while leaving intact carboxylic acid end groups. Stable catalytic performance over multiple cycles is demonstrated. This catalytic system opens up opportunities for selective processing of biomass‐derived sugar acids with a high degree of chemical functionality.
