Carboxylic acids are employed as the vital starting materials in organic synthesis. Various aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids participate in electrochemical decarboxylative transformations in which CO 2 gets liberated and generate the active carbocation species that reacted with various nucleophiles to produce the C−C, C−N, C−O, C−S, and C−halogen bonds. L. Tian, Y. Wang et al. discuss the recent developments in the decarboxylation of carboxylic acid derivatives using electrosynthesis in the Minireview on page 3213.
