title: Palladium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with formic acid.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with formic acid has been developed. The method provides acrylic acid and derivatives in good yields with high regioselectivity without the need to handle toxic CO gas.
