Abstract

Lewis Acids - chemistry Alkenes - chemistry Molecular Structure Alkenes - chemical synthesis Carboxylic Acids - chemistry Lewis Bases - chemistry
We report the direct conversion of mixed carboxylic acids to C-C olefins with up to 60 mol% carbon yield through cascade (cross) ketonization, (cross) aldolization and self-deoxygenation reactions. Co-feeding hydrogen provides an additional ketone hydrogenation/dehydration pathway to a wider range of olefins.
