✦ Synopsis


The oxidative decarboxylation of a-ketoglutaric acid by molecular oxygen is thought to be the key step in several dioxygenase-catalyzed hydroxylations.' In general, a-ketocarboxylic acids are unreactive towards ground-state molecular oxygen. However, we have reported that singlet oxygen, generated by dye-sensitization, gives carbon dioxide and the corresponding peroxy acid which instantaneously causes decarboxylation of the starting a-keto acid (eq. 1
