Thermal decarboxylative cyclization of several carboxylic diacids supported on graphite gave the corresponding five- and six-membered cycloalkanones in high yields. The process took advantage of the retention of diacid on graphite, even for high temperature experiments (450 °C), which avoid its vaporization. Moreover, the addition of catalyst is useless, the iron-containing inclusions present on graphite play this function. The reactions were also realized under microwave irradiation.
