Ketonization of Carboxylic Acids by Decarboxylation: Mechanism and Scope
Abstract
In the ketonic decarboxylation process, a ketone is formed from two moles of carboxylic acid; water and carbon dioxide are produced as side‐products. At present, the mechanism of this reaction remains under debate; it has been proposed as a radical mechanism, a mechanism involving a ‐keto acid as intermediate, or a concerted mechanism. This paper demonstrates that the latter mechanism is the most likely one and that weak bases may play the role of promoters. Different processes are reviewed for the syntheses of the following ketones: symmetrical ketones, such as acetone or 3‐pentanone, cyclic ketones, such as cyclopentanone (parent compound and substituted derivatives), fatty ketones, and some unsymmetrical ketones.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
