Pyridine-mediated tandem Knoevenagel condensation-decarboxylation: Chemoselectivity, mechanistic rationale, and discovery of a novel Lead(II) fumarate coordination polymer
{{output}}
The pyridine-mediated tandem Knoevenagel condensation-decarboxylation of glyoxylic acid and malonic acid was investigated at 95 °C in neat anhydrous pyridine to establish the mechanistic basis of its strict substrate specificity and to characterise the coordi... ...
