Here we present an example of utilizing hydroxy groups for regioselectivity control in the addition reaction of alkynes-a highly efficient Pd-catalyzed <i>syn</i>-hydrocarboxylation of readily available 2-alkynylic alcohols with CO in the presence of alcohols with an unprecedented regioselectivity affording 3-hydroxy-2(<i>E</i>)-alkenoates. The role of the hydroxy group has been carefully studied. The synthetic potential of the products has also been demonstrated. ...[more]
