Abstract: The development of unique reaction conditions for the protodecarboxylation of P-keto-acrylic acids is described. This expansion on previous work ameliorates the requirement of added water, affording a homogeneous reaction system. As an unexpected discovery in substrate preparation, the synthesis of isomaleimides using methanesulfonyl chloride as a dehydrating agent is also presented.
