Shape selectivity and acidity effects in glycerol acetylation with acetic anhydride : selective synthesis of triacetin over Y-zeolite and sulfonated mesoporous carbons

Abstract 100% triacetin selectivity was achieved in glycerol acetylation with acetic anhydride in 20–50 min in the presence of catalytic amounts of mesoporous sulfonated carbons and zeolite H-Y. Ex ...
