Description

Application

Sodium trichloroacetate with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) undergoes rapid decarboxylation in dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of aldehydes to form nucleophilic trichloromethyl anion, which then adds to the aldehydes to form trichloromethyl carbinols.[1] It can also undergo thermal decarboxylation in aprotonic solvents in the presence of olefins to generate dichlorocarbene as an intermediate.[2]
