A mild and inexpensive method for direct hydrodecarboxylation of aliphatic carboxylic acids has been developed. The reaction does not require metals, light, or catalysts, rendering the protocol operationally simple, easy to scale, and more sustainable. Crucially, no additional H atom source is required in most cases, while a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance are observed.

A suitable protocol for the photocatalytic decarboxylation of carboxylic acids was developed with metal-free ceramic boron carbon nitrides (BCN). With visible light irradiation, BCN oxidize carboxylic acids to give carbon-centered radicals, which were trapped by hydrogen atom donors or employed in the construction of the carbon-carbon bond. In this system, both (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic acids proceed the decarboxylation smoothly, and C-H, C-D, and C-C bonds are formed in moderate to high yields (35 examples, yield up to 93%). Control experiments support a radical process, and isotopic experiments show that methanol is employed as the hydrogen atom donor. Recycle tests and gram-scale reaction elucidate the practicability of the heterogeneous ceramic BCN photoredox system. It provides an alternative to homogeneous catalysts in the valuable carbon radical intermediates formation. Moreover, the metal-free system is also applicable to late-stage functionalization of anti-inflammatory drugs, such as naproxen and ibuprofen, which enrich the chemical toolbox.

A technologically advanced protocol has been developed for converting plant allyl(polyalkoxy)benzenes to methyl- and propyl(polyalkoxy)benzenes being intermediates in the syntheses of coenzyme Q0 analogues. The key stage of allyl and benzaldehyde moieties hydrogenation was carried out in a periodical autoclave mode on highly porous ceramic block Pd-catalysts. These catalysts possess large surface area, low hydraulic resistance, significant thermal and mechanical stabililty, multiple cycling and easy regeneration, which can dramatically reduce Pd consumption.
