Carboxylic acids have gained more and more importance as versatile and renewable
starting materials for the formation of platform molecules or high-value chemicals. Many …

C− C bond forming reactions incarnate the core of organic synthesis because of their
fundamental applications to molecular diversity and complexity. In recent years, use of …

We report a copper-catalyzed strategy for arylboronic ester synthesis that exploits
photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) to convert (hetero) aryl acids into aryl …

The carbon− carbon bond is the most widespread and fundamental bond existing in organic
compounds. The reaction of this kind of bond is almost ubiquitous in live activities and …

This critical review examines transition metal-catalyzed decarboxylative couplings that have
emerged within recent years as a powerful strategy to form carbon–carbon or carbon …

A highly useful, visible-light-driven carboxylation of aryl bromides and chlorides with CO2
was realized using a combination of Pd (OAc) 2 as a carboxylation catalyst and Ir (ppy) 2 …

A direct, catalytic hydrodecarboxylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary carboxylic acids
is reported. The catalytic system consists of a Fukuzumi acridinium photooxidant with …

In organic molecules carboxylic acid groups are among the most common functionalities.
Activated derivatives of carboxylic acids have long served as versatile connection points in …

Decarboxylative protonation is a general deletion tactic to replace polar carboxylic acid
groups with hydrogen or its isotope. Current methods rely on the pre‐activation of acids, non …

The ability to selectively functionalise a specific C–H bond is a long-standing challenge due
to the ubiquity of such bonds in organic molecules. One of the most common approaches to …
