A convenient and sustainable method for the synthesis of glycol diesters was developed through the depolymerization of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) with carboxylic acids using proton-exchanged montmorillonite as an efficient solid acid catalyst. Several functionalized glycol diesters were obtained in good yields from PEGs and readily available carboxylic acids. Upon reaction completion, the catalyst could be easily separated by filtration and reused with its activity remaining unchanged.
