One-step selective synthesis of branched 1-O-alkyl-glycerol/diglycerol monoethers by catalytic reductive alkylation of ketones

2010 
Branched 1-O-alkyl glycerol and diglycerol monoethers were obtained in good yields and high selectivity by a straightforward catalytic reductive alkylation of glycerol with relevant ketones in the presence of 0.5 mol% of Pd/C under 10 bar of hydrogen pressure using a Bronsted acid as the co-catalyst.
