A metal-free visible light-induced decarboxylation of phenylacetic acid derivatives has been successfully developed. Without the additives, direct decarboxylative monodeuteration of acids was successfully achieved using cheap deuterium sources. Besides, in presence of air, similar catalytic systems provided ketone products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
