Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product isolated after thermal decarboxylation of the given compounds using curved arrows that representation step is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Decarboxylation occurs when a carboxyl group is attached to the alpha carbon of another carbonyl group. It removes the carboxylic group from the alpha carbon of the carbonyl group. Generally, the temperature required for such type of reaction is 150160°C.

Curved arrows aid in determining the movement and flow of electrons in the reaction. The electrons that take part in the chemical reactions are shown by the curved arrows.
