Abstract
A Rh(I)-based catalyst system has been developed to promote three types of decarboxylative transformations of arenecarboxylic acids: (1) hydrodecarboxylation, (2) Heck−Mizoroki olefination, and (3) conjugate addition. Scopes of reactions (1) and (2) were studied, and the ligand and reagent dependence of selectivity was explored.
