Why do beta keto acid decarboxylation? - All Famous Faqs
Apr 17, 2022 What happens on heating beta keto acid? This thermal process results in cleavage of the bond connecting the carboxyl carbon, loss of carbon dioxide, and formation of a new π-bond. This 1,3-elimination process is called decarboxylation and it is a common reaction of β-keto acids, β-carboxyl esters, and 1,3-diacids (malonic acid derivatives).
