Abstract

Abstract The copper-catalyzed decarboxylative methylation of aromatic carboxylic acids was developed by using PhI (OAc) 2 to provide a new strategy for the methylation of aryl acids through the decarboxylation of alkyl acids. The mechanism and the roles of each reactant in the reaction were investigated extensively.
