Photosensitized oxygenation of a-keto carboxylic acids in the presence of diazo compounds afforded the corresponding carboxylic acids and carbon dioxide in high yields; oxidative decarboxylation by carbonyl oxides occurred. Hydroxylations catalyzed by several dioxygenases require cc-keto carboxylic
a-Oxo-carboxylic acids undergo photo-oxidative decarboxylation from both C-l and C-2 positions, and reaction does not involve singlet oxygen: a mechanism involving an electron transfer reaction is postulated.
## Summarv Cyclic amino acids L-proline, pipecolinic acid and L-2-pyrrolidinone-karboxylic acid undergo oxidative decarboxylation with iodosobenzene in various solvents (including water) to yield the lactam and imide in the latter case. The reaction proceeds via initial imine formation.
