  2. Akabori amino-acid reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akabori_amino-acid_reaction

    There are several Akabori amino acid reactions, which are named after Shirō Akabori (Japanese: 赤堀 四郎) (1900–1992), a Japanese chemist. In the first reaction, an α- amino acid is oxidised and undergoes decarboxylation to give an aldehyde at the former α position by heating with oxygen in the presence of a reducing sugar .

  3. Decarboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarboxylation

    In beverages stored for long periods, very small amounts of benzene may form from benzoic acid by decarboxylation catalyzed by the presence of ascorbic acid. [15] The addition of catalytic amounts of cyclohexenone has been reported to catalyze the decarboxylation of amino acids. [16]

  4. Phthalaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalaldehyde

    It is one of three isomers of benzene dicarbaldehyde, related to phthalic acid. This pale yellow solid is a building block in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and a reagent in the analysis of amino acids. OPA dissolves in water solution at pH < 11.5. Its solutions degrade upon UV illumination and exposure to air.

  5. Decarboxylative cross-coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarboxylative_cross-coupling

    The first reported decarboxylative cross coupling reaction was an Ullmann reaction, in 1966 by Nilsson et al. Thermal decarboxylation of copper benzoates, in the presence of an aryl halide, was found to produce (both symmetric and unsymmetric) biaryls through aryl-Cu intermediates.

  6. Knorr pyrrole synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knorr_pyrrole_synthesis

    [1] [2] [3] The method involves the reaction of an α-amino-ketone (1) and a compound containing an electron-withdrawing group (e.g. an ester as shown) α to a carbonyl group (2). [ 4 ] The Knorr pyrrole synthesis

  7. Benzoic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzoic_acid

    Orthoesters can be obtained by the reaction of alcohols under acidic water free conditions with benzonitrile. Reduction to benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol is possible using DIBAL-H, LiAlH 4 or sodium borohydride. Decarboxylation to benzene may be effected by heating in quinoline in the presence of copper salts.

  8. Benzilic acid rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzilic_acid_rearrangement

    The benzilic acid rearrangement is formally the 1,2-rearrangement of 1,2-diketones to form α-hydroxy–carboxylic acids using a base. This reaction receives its name from the reaction of benzil with potassium hydroxide to form benzilic acid. First performed by Justus von Liebig in 1838, [1] it is the first reported example of a rearrangement ...

  9. Electrosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrosynthesis

    A well-known electrosynthesis is the Kolbe electrolysis, in which two carboxylic acids decarboxylate, and the remaining structures bond together: A variation is called the non-Kolbe reaction when a heteroatom (nitrogen or oxygen) is present at the α-position. The intermediate oxonium ion is trapped by a nucleophile, usually solvent.
