Abstract
Some phophines and aliphatic amines are efficient in decarbonylating formate esters. Simple amines in the presence of DMF as well as some aminoalcohols decarbonylate methyl formate efficiently at 190°C. Likewise, formate esters are decarbonylated by very basic phosphines (P(CY) 3 and P(iPr) 3) without any metallic species at 180°C to form the corresponding alcohol and carbon monoxide.
