ABSTRACT
Practical synthetic applications of catalytic decarboxylation in producing useful molecules are limited. We report herein the cationic Ir-catalyzed decarboxylations of various electron-rich and -poor aromatic carboxylic acids to produce hydrocarbons in good yield (up to >99%). Additionally, this reaction is applicable in decarboxylative hydroarylation of bicyclic alkenes and decarboxylative fluorination, indicating the potential utility of this catalytic decarboxylation in synthetic chemistry.
