Abstract
Abstract Treatment of carboxylic acids with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a mercury (II) salts results in oxidative decarboxylation and is an effective method for transformation of the carboxylic acids into the corresponding nor-derivatives, hydroperoxides and alcohols. Oxidative decarboxylation of acetyloleanolic, acetylursolic and dehydroabietic acids is described.
