Upon heating, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid undergoes decarboxylation to give 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. [4] Reduction with tin gives 2,4,6-triaminobenzenoic acid, a precursor to phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene).
Here decarbonylation accompanies the preparation of cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl dimer: 2 Fe(CO) 5 + C 10 H 12 → (η 5 −C 5 H 5) 2 Fe 2 (CO) 4 + 6 CO + H 2. Decarbonylation can be induced photochemically as well as using reagents such as trimethylamine N-oxide: Me 3 NO + L + Fe(CO) 5 → Me 3 N + CO 2 + LFe(CO) 4
The Buchner ring expansion reaction was first used in 1885 by Eduard Buchner and Theodor Curtius [1] [2] who prepared a carbene from ethyl diazoacetate for addition to benzene using both thermal and photochemical pathways in the synthesis of cycloheptatriene derivatives.
Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO 2). Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids , removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain.
They have been generated by decarboxylation of benzene dipropynoic acids, using the technique of mass spectrometry. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The three isomers of the dianion are the three strongest known superbases ever, with the ortho isomer being the strongest, with a proton affinity of 1,843.987 kJ/mol (440.723 kcal/mol).

In commercial applications, the alkylating agents are generally alkenes, some of the largest scale reactions practiced in industry.Such alkylations are of major industrial importance, e.g. for the production of ethylbenzene, the precursor to polystyrene, from benzene and ethylene and for the production of cumene from benzene and propene in cumene process:
However, a 2:1 ratio favours the formation of an ester product that arises from decarboxylation of one carboxylate and coupling the resulting alkyl chain with the other. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Using a 3:2 ratio of reactants leads to the formation of a 1:1 mixture of both products.
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.
