Effect of copper salts on hydrothermal oxidative decarboxylation: A study of phenylacetic acid
Decarboxylation of carboxylic acids is favored under hydrothermal conditions, and can be influenced by dissolved metals. Here, we use phenylacetic acid as a model compound to study its hydrothermal decarboxylation in the presence of copper( II ) salts but no O 2 . Our results showed a strong oxidizing role of copper in facilitating oxidative decarboxylation.
