When heated, carboxylic salts in which there is a good leaving group on the carbon beta to the carboxylate group undergo decarboxylation/elimination to give an alkene.Propose a mechanism for this type of decarboxylation/elimination. Compare the
mechanism of the  decarboxylations with the mechanism for decarboxylation of
b-ketoacids. In what way(s) are the mechanisms similar?
