Krapcho decarboxylation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Krapcho decarboxylation is the chemical reaction of esters with halide anions. The ester must contain an electron-withdrawing group in the beta position, such as β-ketoesters, malonic esters, α-cyanoesters, or α-sulfonylesters.[1][2]
