Silver-catalysed protodecarboxylation of carboxylic acids
Lukas J. Gooßen, Christophe Linder, Nuria Rodríguez, Paul P. Lange and Andreas Fromm
A silver-based catalyst system has been discovered that effectively promotes the protodecarboxylation of various carboxylic acids at temperatures of 80–120 °C—more than 50 °C below those of the best known copper catalysts.
