(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Mechanism for the given type of decarboxylation reaction has to be proposed and it should be compared with the mechanism of decarboxylation of βketoacid

Concept introduction:

Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl attached to a hydroxyl group as shown below,

Decarboxylation of βketoacid is shown below,

EP ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-OWL V2 ACCESS     , Chapter 17, Problem 17.41P , additional homework tip  3

The mechanism of thermal decarboxylation involves two processes,

  1. (i) Redistribution of electrons in a cyclic transition state.
  2. (ii) Cyclic transition state possesses keto-enol tautomerism.
