Microwave heating in organic synthesis: Decarboxylation of malonic acid derivatives in water

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087388

Microwave heating permits rapid decarboxylation (15 min, 80-98% isolated yields) of malonic acids in water when employing a microwave autoclave mode and high reaction temperature and power (190 °C; 800 Watts).
