Direct reversible decarboxylation from stable organic acids in dimethylformamide solution.
Science 2020 June 19
Many classical and emerging methodologies in organic chemistry rely on CO2 extrusion to generate reactive intermediates for bond-forming events. Synthetic reactions that involve the microscopic reverse, the carboxylation of reactive intermediates, have conventionally been undertaken using very different conditions. We report that chemically stable C(sp3 ) carboxylates, such as arylacetic acids and malonate half-esters, undergo uncatalyzed reversible decarboxylation in dimethylformamide solution. Decarboxylation/carboxylation occurs with substrates resistant to protodecarboxylation by Brønsted acids under otherwise identical conditions. Isotopically labeled carboxylic acids can be prepared in high chemical and isotopic yield by simply supplying an atmosphere of 13 CO2 to carboxylate salts in polar aprotic solvents. An understanding of carboxylate reactivity in solution enables conditions for the trapping of aldehydes, ketones, and α,β-unsaturated esters.
