Transforming how plastics are made, unmade, and remade through innovative research and
diverse partnerships that together foster environmental stewardship is critically important to …

Transition-metal-catalyzed decarbonylation via carbon–carbon bond cleavage is an
essential synthetic methodology. Given the ubiquity of carbonyl compounds, the selective …

While acid fluorides can readily be made from widely available or biomass‐feedstock‐
derived carboxylic acids, their use as functional groups in metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling …

A general, transition-metal-free, and operationally simple method for esterification of amides
by a highly selective cleavage of N–C (O) bonds under exceedingly mild conditions is …

Transition-metal-catalyzed decarbonylation reactions of aliphatic carboxylic acids produce
olefins via one carbon degradation. Recently, tremendous progress has been made in the …

Scientists are exploring renewables as sources for a more sustainable production of
chemicals. Linear α-olefins (LAOs) are key commodity chemicals and petrochemical …

A copper-catalyzed decarboxylative elimination reaction of (hetero) aromatic propionic acids
to vinyl (hetero) arenes has been developed. This method furnishes alkenes from carboxylic …

Catalytic deoxygenation of even‐numbered fatty acids into odd‐chain linear α‐olefins
(LAOs) has emerged as a complementary strategy to oligomerization of ethylene, which only …

The decarbonylation of fatty acids presents a promising method for synthesizing sustainable
long-chain olefins. However, the development of catalysts that combine satisfactory …

Decarbonylation of carboxylic acids is an effective reaction for alkene production but suffers
from the requirement of homogeneous transitional-metal-based catalyst, ligand, and …
