This compound and an alkane are side products of a reaction in which a thiohydroxamate ester is attacked by a radical initiator. Sodium phenoxide undergoes an electrophilic substitution with this compound as an intermediate of the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction. Ketoacids in the beta position more readily produce a molecule of this compound when heated. Prior to halogenation, this compound's production creates two radicals in the Hunsdiecker (HUNTS-dee-kur) reaction. Reacting this compound with methylmagnesium bromide followed by acidic workup yields acetic acid. Heating limestone to produce quicklime releases this compound as waste. Organic solvents are slowly poured over this compound's solid form to create slurries for cooling baths. This is the main reactant used in carboxylation reactions. For 10 points, name this compound found in dry ice. ■END■
ANSWER: carbon dioxide [or CO2] (The first clue is the Barton decarboxylation.)
