Vedclass · Answer

(D) Decarboxylation involves the removal of a carboxyl group $(-COOH)$ as $CO_2$ to form a hydrocarbon. Cinnamic acid,isophthalic acid,and salicylic acid contain $-COOH$ groups and can undergo decarboxylation to form styrene,benzene,and phenol (which can be further converted) respectively. Picric acid ($2, 4, 6-$trinitrophenol) does not contain a $-COOH$ group; it is a phenol derivative. Therefore,it cannot undergo decarboxylation to form a hydrocarbon.

Which acid will not form a hydrocarbon upon decarboxylation?
