Selective palladium catalysed monohydroesterification of diols

Abstract
Olefins react with diols (e.g. ethylene glycol) under oxidative carbonylation and acidic conditions, using palladium and copper (II) chloride as catalysts, to give hydroxy esters in good yields; this mild reaction (room temperature, 1 atm) is a regioselective one.
