Hydroxycarbonylation of vinyl acetate with formic acid: pathway to lactic acid and lactates
The Pd-catalyzed hydroxycarbonylation of vinyl acetate in the presence of formic acid into 2-acetoxypropionic acid is reported. The reaction proceeds chemo- and regioselectively under very mild conditions of 80 °C and 3-6 bar CO.
