Abstract

The oxidative decarboxylation of arylacetic acids by cobalt(III) acetate in the presence of copper(II) acetate in acetic acid has been ascribed to the formation of an aromatic radical cation intermediate.1 The high value of p (-2.9) for the decarboxylation of substituted arylacetic acids and the exclusive formation of 4-phenylbutyrolactone in the cobaltic oxidation of 4- phenylbutanoic acid has been reported as evidence for the proposed mechanism. © 1980, American Chemical Society.
