Abstract
The decarbonylation of aldehydes, acyl halides, aroyl halides, alcohols, or ketones is a useful and important reaction in organic synthesis. (1,2,3) Although several methods not utilizing transition metals are known(4,5) (including various deformylation reactions and thermal and photochemical decarbonylations), they are not general and not usually applicable under mild conditions where undesirable side reactions are minimized.(1)
