Oxidative Decarboxylation of Levulinic Acid by Cupric Oxides [PDF]
In this paper, cupric oxides was found to effectively oxidize levulinic acid (LA) and lead to the decarboxylation of levulinic acid to 2-butanone.

In vitro oxidative decarboxylation of free fatty acids to terminal alkenes by two new P450 peroxygenases [PDF]
Background P450 fatty acid decarboxylases represented by the unusual CYP152 peroxygenase family member OleTJE have been receiving great attention recently since these P450 enzymes are able to catalyze the simple and direct production of 1-alkenes for ...

Linked cycles of oxidative decarboxylation of glyoxylate as protometabolic analogs of the citric acid cycle [PDF]
The citric acid cycle (TCA) is a fundamental metabolic pathway to release stored energy in living organisms. Here, the authors report two linked cycles of reactions that each oxidize glyoxylate into CO2 and generate intermediates shared with the modern ...
