Abstract
Visible-light-induced photocatalysis enables a highly efficient decarboxylative oxidation of carboxylic acids with molecular oxygen as a green oxidant and copper as a co-catalyst. This reaction worked smoothly on various type of acids, and could potentially be used in modifications of natural products.
