Rh(I)-catalyzed decarboxylative transformations of arenecarboxylic acids: ligand- and reagent-controlled selectivity toward hydrodecarboxylation or Heck-Mizoroki products.
A Rh(I)-based catalyst system has been developed to promote three types of decarboxylative transformations of arenecarboxylic acids: (1) hydrodecarboxylation, (2) Heck-Mizoroki olefination, and (3) conjugate addition. Scopes of reactions (1) and (2) were studied, and the ligand and reagent dependence of selectivity was explored.
