Abstract
In this anniversary issue, we present a DFT study of the mechanism of decarbonylative Hirao cross-coupling of carboxylic-phosphoric anhydrides to afford aryl phosphonates. Traditionally, the direct activation of carboxylic acids to participate in decarbonylative couplings is performed in the presence of carboxylic acid anhydride activators. We discovered that direct dehydrogenative decarbonylative phosphorylation of benzoic acid can be performed in high yield via dehydrogenative and decarbonylative coupling in the presence of phosphite as dual activating and nucleophilic reagent, enabling direct decarbonylative phosphorylation. Control studies demonstrated that carboxylic-phosphoric anhydride (acyl phosphate) is an intermediate in this process. DFT studies were conducted to gain insight into this decarbonylative process and compare the selectivity of C-O and P-O bond activations. Considering the utility of ubiquitous carboxylic acids, this alternative activation pathway may find applications in decarbonylative coupling of carboxylic acids for the synthesis of valuable molecules in organic synthesis.

Abstract
1,2,3-Triazoles are well-established bioisosteres for amides, often installed as a result of structure-activity-relationship (SAR) exploration. A straightforward approach to assess the effect of the replacement of an amide by a triazole would start from the carboxylic acid and the amine used for the formation of a given amide and convert them into the corresponding alkyne and azide for cyclization by copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC). Herein, we report a functional-group-tolerant and operationally simple decarbonylative alkynylation that allows the conversion of complex (hetero)aryl carboxylic acids into alkynes. Furthermore, the utility of this method was demonstrated in the preparation of a triazolo analog of the commercial drug moclobemide. Lastly, mechanistic investigations using labeled carboxylic acid derivatives clearly show the decarbonylative nature of this transformation.
