Abstract

Paving the route with gold: 3-Hydroxypropionic acid is considered to be a potential building block for both organic synthesis and high-performance polymers. However, there is currently no large-scale chemical process to produce this important molecule. With this aim in mind, a new approach is proposed: aerobic oxidation of allyl alcohol to 3-hydroxypropionic acid using a supported Au/C catalyst.
