  2. Decarboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarboxylation

    Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO 2). Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids, removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain. The reverse process, which is the first chemical step in photosynthesis, is called carboxylation, the addition of CO 2 to a

  3. Decarboxylated and decarbonylated biofuels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarboxylated_and...

    An additional cause of deactivation is the adsorbing aromatic compounds to the catalysts, where these compounds are found in the reaction inputs or are produced over the course of a reaction. However, the primary cause of catalyst deactivation is surface area loss due to pore occlusion by deposits on the catalyst surface.

  4. Barton decarboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton_decarboxylation

    The product is then heated in the presence of a radical initiator and a suitable hydrogen donor to afford the decarboxylated product. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This is an example of a reductive decarboxylation. Using this reaction it is possible to remove carboxylic acid moieties from alkyl groups and replace them with other functional groups .

  5. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    For example, at room temperature, in a 1-molar solution of acetic acid, only 0.001% of the acid are dissociated (i.e. 10 −5 moles out of 1 mol). Electron-withdrawing substituents, such as -CF 3 group , give stronger acids (the p K a of acetic acid is 4.76 whereas trifluoroacetic acid, with a trifluoromethyl substituent , has a p K a of 0.23).

  6. Oxidative decarboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_decarboxylation

    TPP is the key catalytic cofactor used by enzymes catalyzing non-oxidative and oxidative decarboxylation of α-keto acids. Pyruvate, for example, undergoes both types of decarboxylation, both involving TPP. In fermentative organisms, pyruvate is non-oxidatively decarboxylated by the TPP-dependent enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase.

  7. Decarboxylative cross-coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarboxylative_cross-coupling

    Decarboxylative cross coupling reactions are chemical reactions in which a carboxylic acid is reacted with an organic halide to form a new carbon-carbon bond, concomitant with loss of CO 2. Aryl and alkyl halides participate. Metal catalyst, base, and oxidant are required. Decarboxylative cross-coupling general reaction scheme

  8. Cardanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardanol

    The name cardanol is used for the decarboxylated derivatives obtained by thermal decomposition of any of the naturally occurring anacardic acids. This includes more than one compound because the composition of the side chain varies in its degree of unsaturation. Tri-unsaturated cardanol, the major component (41%) is shown below.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...
