A one-step procedure was developed for preparation of α,β-acetylenic γ-hydroxycarboxylic acid methyl esters with high yields by methoxycarbonylation of acetylenic alcohols with carbon monoxide in the presence of the catalytic system PdCl2-CuCl2-NaOAc (molar ratio methanol-acetylenic alcohol-PdCl2-CuCl2-NaOAc 5:0.02:0.0006:0.07:0.07). Methyl 4-methyl-4-hydroxy-2-pentynoate can be synthesized in the presence of CuCl2-NaOAc with no palladium.
