An efficient platform for decarboxylative functionalization of carboxylic acids using sulfuryl fluoride: Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative dehydrogenation of alkanecarboxylic acids and decarboxylative cross-coupling of arenecarboxylic acids

An in situ SO 2 F 2 -mediated and palladium-catalyzed method is shown for the decarboxylative dehydrogenation of alkanecarboxylic acids and decarboxylative cross-coupling of arenecarboxylic acids, respectively.
