1, 2, 3??Trimethoxypropane and Glycerol Ethers as Bio??Sourced Solvents from Glycerol. Synthesis by Solvent??Free Phase??Transfer Catalysis and Utilization as an …
Abstract 1, 2, 3-Trimethoxypropane (2), 1-alkoxy-2, 3-dimethoxy-propanes, and 1-aryloxy-2, 3-dimethoxypropanes were prepared in good yields and selectivity by solid–liquid phase- transfer catalysis in the presence of an inorganic base and an ammonium salt as the phase- transfer catalyst with no additional solvent. No heating was required, and the synthesis was easily performed under atmospheric pressure on a 150 g scale. For the preparation of 2, ...
