The use of glycerol as a solvent for environmentally friendly organic reactions has been demonstrated. It was observed that the surfactant combined catalysts (SCCs) with glycerol can enhance the diffusion of organic substrate in the glycerol. The study found that micellar catalysis in glycerol form a unstable emulsions. The study also investigated the reaction of 1,2-epoxydodecane with dodecanoic acid at at temperature of 110°C in glycerol. Diethoanolamine with dodecanoic acid can be used as a phase-transfer agent which can accelerate the diffusion of organic substrate in the glycerol. The study also concluded that the surfactant need to be use with a catalysis to use glycerol as solvent for the improved diffusion of organic compounds. The study used renewable resources to provide an eco-friendly environment during all reactions.
