MCQ
The compound that undergoes decarboxlylation most readily under mild condition is
  • A


  • C

  • D

Answer

Correct option: B.

b
In decarboxylation, $\beta$-carbon acquires $\delta$ - charge. Whenever $\delta$ - charge is stabilized, decarboxylation becomes simple. In $(B)$, it is stabilized by $- m \&- I$ of $C = O$, which is best amongst the options offered,
