Glycols and ethoxy– and propoxy–alcohols are fundamental chemicals in industry, with annual productions of millions of tons, still manufactured in many cases with corrosive and unrecoverable catalysts such as KOH, amines and BF3?OEt2. Here we show that commercially available, inexpensive, non–toxic, solid and recyclable nanotitania catalyzes the hydration and alkoxylation of epoxides, with water and primary and secondary alcohols but not with phenols, carboxylic acids and tertiary alcohols. In this way, the chemoselective synthesis of different glycols and 1,4–dioxanones, and the implementation of nanotitania for the production in–flow of glycols and alkoxylated alcohols, has been achieved. Mechanistic studies support the key role of vacancies in the nano–oxide catalyst.
METHODS OF ETHERIFICATION

The invention discloses a polyoxyethylene ether carboxylic acid dimeric surfactant type drag reducer as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The polyoxyethylene ether carboxylic aciddimeric surfactant type drag reducer has a structure formula m=2, 3, 4, and n=1, 2, 3. The drag reducer disclosed by the invention is a dimeric surfactant type drag reducer which has a head group of carboxylic acid, and the head group has the advantages of being very good in temperature resistance, salt resistance, environment protection and the like, and is capable of overcoming influence of a high-salt environment upon drag reduction performance, so that the drag reducer disclosed by the invention is high in drag reduction efficiency, good in shearing resistance, long-lasting and stable in drag reduction rate and good in salt resistance; and polyoxyethylene ether carboxylic acid dimeric surfactants of different mass concentrations are dissolved into water, a drag reduction solution whichis high in drag reduction efficiency, good in shearing resistance, long-lasting and stable in drag reduction rate and good in salt resistance can be prepared without any other compounded chemical reagent, solution blending steps are simple, the drag reducer is very convenient to use, and meanwhile, the salt resistance is greatly improved.
