Question
Following β - ketoacid will not undergo decarboxylation on heating. Give reasons.
Open in App
Solution
(Refer to Image 1) ⟶ This β− keto acid will not undergo decarboxylation because during decarboxylation a double bond forms at bridge head carbon which makes the ring unstable, thus it does not take place.
(Refer to Image 2)Therefore, decarboxylation does not take place when −COOH is present at bridge head carbon.
