Herein, we present a catalytic approach for the direct decarboxylation of challenging CF3‐cyclopropyl and cyclobutyl carboxylic acids using cooperative iron‐thiol catalysis. This strategy enables the efficient generation of valuable radicals that can be incorporated into activated and unactivated alkenes, offering access to elusive chemical space ...
