Heterogeneous catalytic conversion of glycerol with n-butyl alcohol

The etherification of glycerol with n-butyl alcohol at 140°C in the presence of sulfonated cation-exchange resins and zeolite catalysts in an autoclave reactor has been studied. It has been shown that styrene - divinylbenzene ion-exchange resins are effective catalysts for the production of glycerol n-butyl ethers: the glycerol conversion is about 98% with an n-butyl ether selectivity of about 88 mol % (140°C, 5 h, 5 wt % Amberlyst 36 catalyst, and 10 wt % glycerol in n-butanol). Zeolites Y and β in the H+ form exhibit comparable specific activity (glycerol conversion of no more than 25% under similar conditions) in combination with high selectivity for glycerol di-n-butyl ethers (up to 28%).

Ecotoxicity studies of glycerol ethers in Vibrio fischeri: checking the environmental impact of glycerol-derived solvents

The toxicities of a series of glycerol mono-, di-, and trialkyl ethers against Vibrio fischeri bacteria have been determined. A systematic study has been carried out and the possible structure-toxicity relationships have been discussed using different QSAR models. Inhibition of bioluminescence after 30 minutes of exposure shows relatively low toxicity of many of the glycerol derived chemicals studied. Results indicate that, as a general rule, the ecotoxicity increases with the length and number of substituents. However, if the size of the molecule increases, an extra substituent at position 2 makes the toxicity lower than that of the corresponding analogues.

Thermodynamic characteristics of the sorption of glycerol ethers on stationary phase OV-101

Retention characteristics, temperature dependences of the retention characteristics, and thermodynamic characteristics of sorption on the nonpolar OV-101 phase are determined for 33 glycerol mono-, di-, and triethers with linear and branched monobasic alc

Green solvents from glycerol. Synthesis and physico-chemical properties of alkyl glycerol ethers

A family of glycerol derivatives, consisting of over sixty 1,3-dialkoxy-2-propanols and 1,2,3-trialkoxypropanes, both symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted at terminal positions, have been synthesized and the possible role of these glycerol derivatives as substitutive solvents has been evaluated through measurements of their physico-chemical properties. The molecular diversity of the derivatives prepared results in significant variations of polarity properties, facilitating the identification of possible candidates for solvent substitution.
