1Simply Decarboxylation takes place in all compunds having a -COO(Pr) group.here Pr means any proton like H to give alkanes and Ag the Hundsdiker Reaction
1kartik i din understand xactly wht u want to say....plzz elaborate
1Decarboxylation simply helps us to remove CO2 from the compound once it is removed we get the products .Simply any molecule having -COO can be decarboxylated

19decarboxylation can occur in the following class of compounds:
(1)β-keto esters
(2)1,1 dicarboxylic acids( generally called "LAMNAC" rule)
(3)β,γ unsaturated acids
additional note: decarbonylation (-CO) occurs in the case of α-keto esters or α-keto acids.
19LAMNAC rule : it simply states that 1,1 dicarboxylic acids yield CO2 on simple heating or even under ordinary conditions.
