title: A Ligand-Directed Catalytic Regioselective Hydrocarboxylation of Aryl Olefins with Pd and Formic Acid.
abstract: An effective Pd-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of aryl olefins with Ac2O and formic acid is described. A variety of 2- and 3-arylpropanoic acids can be regioselectively formed by the judicious choice of ligand without the use of toxic CO gas.
