Efficient and Mild Oxidative Decarboxylation of Aryl-substituted Carboxylic Acids by Iron and Manganese Porphyrin Periodate Systems

Abstract

The oxidative decarboxylation of α-aryl carboxylic acids to the corresponding carbonyl derivatives was observed in catalytic systems containing tetrabutylammonium periodate and metallotetraphenylporphyrins (metal=Fe^III or Mn^III) at room temperature.
