2) Beta-keto acids are unusually unstable. They will lose the carboxylate group under certain conditions where both a general acid and base are involved. During this process, CO2 is lost and the original beta-keto acid is converted into a ketone. For the following reaction, show a stepwise mechanism, with electron pusing arrows, showing the formation of the products. Make a special note of any resonance stablizied intermediates in this reaction. OH TY + CO2
