{ALF} Carboxylic acids undergo oxidative decarboxylation; review: Org. React., 19, 279 (1972). In the presence of LiCl, the alkyl chloride is obtained (Kochi reaction): J. Am. Chem. Soc., 87, 2500 (1965); Synth. Commun., 20, 1011 (1990). Yields are lower for the bromide and iodide, cf Hunsdiecker reaction (see Mercury(II)­ oxide, A16157). Use of NCS allows successful scale-up: Synthesis, 493 (1973).

{ALF} Cleaves vic-glycols to carbonyl compounds; see, e.g.: Org. Synth. Coll., 4, 124 (1963).
