By investigation of the decarboxylation of 2,3-epoxy derivatives of acids with various structures it was shown that contrary to the existing theory about the essential opening of the β (C-O) bond in the oxirane ring there are many structural types of 2,3-epoxypropionic acids, in which opening of the α (C-O) bond in the oxirane ring occurs during decarboxylation.It was also shown that these two possible reaction paths can also arise during the decarboxylation of one 2,3-epoxypropionic acid.On the basis of the obtained data a general relationship is developed for theopening of the oxirane ring during the decarboxylation of 2,3-epoxypropionic acids with any structure, and this makes it possible to predict the structure of the obtained carbonyl compound.
