From glycerol to chlorohydrin esters using a solvent-free system. Microwave irradiation versus conventional heating

Esterification-chlorination of glycerol provides chlorohydrin esters in high yields. A ratio of reagents close to equivalence can be used, so that atom economy of the reaction is optimized. The reaction can be carried out using either classical or microwa

Combining AlCl3·6H2O and an ionic liquid to prepare chlorohydrin esters from glycerol

We describe here the first example in which glycerol has been transformed into chlorohydrin esters using an ionic liquid and hydrated aluminium chloride. The method avoids using Crown-18 ether, which was needed to obtain a similar yield when KCl was used.
