decarboxylation using copper chromite and quinoline
« on: October 08, 2013, 12:07:12 PM »
i am on the early stages of my project and my aim is to make 3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene. the question is what is the mechanism of decarboxylating the thiophene part which carries 2 carboxyl groups at the positions 2 and 5 using copper chromite and quinoline :/

there you go, my starting material and after some chemistry i end up with the carboxylated product. the question is what is the mechanism of the last step.
