Silver-catalysed protodecarboxylation of ortho-substituted benzoic acids
Josep Cornella, Carolina Sanchez, David Banawa and Igor Larrosa
Catalytic amounts of Ag(I) salts in DMSO have been found to promote the protodecarboxylation of a wide variety of ortho-substituted benzoic acids under mild conditions and in excellent yields, highlighting a possible role for silver in decarboxylative cross-couplings.
