Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylation and decarbonylation under hydrothermal conditions: decarboxylative deuteration

Org Lett. 2004 Jun 10;6(12):2071-3. doi: 10.1021/ol0492602.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] Decarboxylation of free carboxylic acid was performed by Pd/C catalyst under hydrothermal water (250 degrees C/4 MPa). Under the hydrothermal conditions of deuterium oxide, decarbonylative deuteration was observed to give fully deuterated hydrocarbons from carboxylic acids or aldehydes.
