Abstract

Abstract The oxidative decarboxylation of various α-aryl-and α, α-arylcarboxylic acids having electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups by using a stoichiometric amount of potassium 12-tungstocobaltate (III), K 5 Co III W 12 O 40, in 50% aqueous acetonitrile solution resulted in the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in high yields within short reaction times under microwave irradiation. This transformation was also carried out under ...
