Abstract
AbstractThis Minireview summarizes the application of carboxylic‐acid‐activated olefins in organic synthesis. The ability of carboxylic acid moiety to increase the electrophilic character of alkenes combined with the possibility to remove it under mild reaction conditions via decarboxylation process allows for the development of new reactivity patterns. These strategies involve mainly cascade reactions consisting of either Michael addition followed by decarboxylation or cycloaddition followed by decarboxylation. New synthetic possibilities provided by these approaches are summarized and discussed within this review article.
