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