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.
