The 18 pages that link to Decarboxylation, each with the reason it gives.

• Carboxylic acidRelated: Some carboxylic acids lose their carboxyl carbon through this reaction.

• Carboxyl groupRelated: This reaction breaks a bond to the group and releases its carbon as carbon dioxide.

• Crassulacean acid metabolismRelated: Daytime decarboxylation supplies carbon dioxide for the Calvin cycle.

• Dicarboxylic acidRelated: Some dicarboxylic acids lose one carboxyl group as carbon dioxide under characteristic conditions.

• CAM photosynthesisRelated: During daylight, CAM plants release stored carbon dioxide for the Calvin cycle.

• Vitamin B6Related: B6-dependent decarboxylases produce several neurotransmitters from amino acids.

• Malonic acidRelated: Heating malonic acid derivatives can expel carbon dioxide after substitution at the central carbon.

• PyridoxineRelated: Pyridoxal phosphate also enables amino-acid decarboxylation reactions.

• TyramineRelated: Tyrosine decarboxylation is the direct biochemical route to tyramine.

• Cinnamic acidRelated: Removing cinnamic acid’s carboxyl group can produce styrene under suitable conditions.

• Phthalic acidRelated: Heating can convert phthalic acid into benzoic acid through loss of carbon dioxide.

• Phenylacetic acidRelated: Removing its carboxyl carbon can yield a benzyl-derived product.

• PyrogallolRelated: Thermal decarboxylation of gallic acid is the traditional route to pyrogallol.

• Strecker degradationRelated: Loss of the amino acid’s carboxyl carbon accounts for carbon dioxide in the reaction products.

• Pimelic acidRelated: Decarboxylation can shorten the carbon skeleton of pimelic acid or its derivatives.

• Strecker aldehydeRelated: Loss of the amino acid’s carboxyl group accounts for the aldehyde’s missing carbon.

• Acetoacetic acidRelated: The beta-keto-acid structure makes acetoacetic acid particularly prone to this reaction.
