What you get if
you used a solution of niacin, poured into a flask containing an ample amount of freshly prepared, activated aluminum?

I don't suspect much would happen at all.

Only thing that can react to is a homogenous mass of niacin and aluminum.

Aluminium oxide and hydrogen, plus niacin in solution.

I doubt niacin is strong enough to react with Al. It's strength could be easily compared with benzoic or citric acid.

The poster said activated aluminium, AKA amalgamated in general.
EDIT, I had made a typo.

I did use it a fair amount of time, and even baugth two borther for it, one kontes and one supelco. Although my scale was not enough precise,
really...
I don't think carboxilate can be reduced this way, catalysed decarboxilation would be better for sure.

Niacin is not a carboxylate, but a carboxylic acid. Magpie posted a thread in the Prepublications section on its thermal
decarboxylation with a copper chromite catalyst.

I was reffering to the family of molecules containing a carboxylate group.

Carboxylates are salts or esters of carboxylic acids, which is termed a homologous series. You are referring to the carboxyl functional group.

Well, well, I assume I made a typographical mistake. I meant that RCO2R and RCO2H at the same time.

Bullshit. I appreciate that English is not your first language, but attempting to use this to excuse a lack of understanding, is ridiculous.
RCO2R' are esters, whereas RCO2H are carboxylic acids.

You have to understand hexavalent, that I have the molecule in my head, and what I type is not what I think necessarily due my English skills. But
think what you like.
