19. To our knowledge, only one example of iridium-catalyzed decarbonylation of aliphatic carboxylic acids has been reported in Miller's patent, (2d) where terminal alkenes were obtained with moderate selectivity in spite of a continuous distillation procedure.

26. We carried out the decarbonylation reaction using stearic anhydride instead of stearic acid (1a), which is converted smoothly into heptadecenes (2a/3a = 17/83) in quantitative yield at 200 °C for 30 min. This result suggested that the initial step of the reaction involves the formation of acid anhydride from carboxylic acid.
