Photo-induced Decarboxylation of Carboxylic Acids Catalyzed by Cerium Complexes

摘要

Decarboxylative functionalizations of carboxylic acids are one of the most versatile transformations in synthetic organic chemistry, since carboxylic acids are common, stable, and non-toxic chemicals. Among them, it is in high demand to develop the oxygenation reaction of carboxylic acids that affords carbon—oxygen bonded chemicals via decarboxylation.
