oxidative decarboxylation of ketones
Oxidative decarboxylation of ketones refers to a chemical process where a ketone molecule undergoes simultaneous oxidation and decarboxylation, resulting in the removal of a carboxyl group, generating a new compound while releasing carbon dioxide and producing energy in the form of reducing agents like NADH.
