Description
Book SynopsisVolume 81 represents the confluence of two rare and important phenomena for chapters in the Organic Reactions series, namely, it is a single-chapter volume, and it contains a name reaction coauthored by the inventor. Of the 261 chapters published thus far, only seven have been of sufficient impact to appear as single-chapter volumes. The single chapter in this volume entitled The Krapcho Dealkoxycarbonylation Reaction of Esters with a-Electron-Withdrawing Substituents has been coauthored by A. Paul Krapcho together with Organic Reactions'' long-time contributor Engelbert Ciganek. The Krapcho Decarboxylation, as it is known in common parlance, is an extraordinarily useful alternative to the classical hydrolysis-decarboxylation of esters bearing a-electron-withdrawing substituents. This process replaces the strongly basic or acidic conditions normally required for ester saponification with the neutral cleavage of the ester group by a BAC2 mechani
