Various routes of ethylene glycol synthesis from one-carbon raw materials are reviewed. Recent advances and interesting developments in the direct synthesis from synthesis gas, the two-step process comprising oxidative coupling of CO to oxalates followed by hydrogenation, formaldehydebased routes via glycolic acid esters, hydroformylation of formaldehyde, reaction of methanol with formaldehyde and methanol coupling reactions are summarized.
