Straightforward selective synthesis of linear 1-O-alkyl glycerol and di-glycerol monoethers

2009 
1-O-Alkyl glycerol and di-glycerol monoethers are, respectively, obtained in high yields and selectivity by catalytic reductive etherification of mono- and di-glycerol with linear aldehydes in the presence of 0.5 mol % of Pd/C under 10 bars of hydrogen using a Bronsted acid as co-catalyst.
