Silica gel was found to mediate decarboxylation of tetracarbonyl compounds with a free carboxylic group prepared from β-dicarbonyl compounds and malonyl peroxides. Under solvent-free heterogeneous conditions silica gel effectively acts as a mediator of C–O coupling with further decarboxylation at 120 °C. © 2019
