Abstract The monomeric square-planar cobalt(III) complex of bis- N,N ′-disubstituted oxamides catalyses the oxidative decarboxylation of α-hydroxy acids with molecular oxygen/pivalaldehyde with very good yields. This reaction offers an interesting alternative in the use of methyl mandelate as a convenient benzoyl anion equivalent.
