title: Silver-catalysed protodecarboxylation of carboxylic acids.
abstract: A silver-based catalyst system has been discovered that effectively promotes the protodecarboxylation of various carboxylic acids at temperatures of 80-120 degrees C--more than 50 degrees C below those of the best known copper catalysts.
