Abstract

Eight allyl esters of fatty acids were synthesized in moderate to high yields with a novel two- step procedure using glycerol as a starting material. The two-step methodology avoids the use of allyl alcohol. The first step consisted of heating at 80° C for 48 ha 2: 1: 5 mmol mixture of glycerol, a fatty acid, and chlorotrimethylsilane in a solvent-free medium. The crude compound was then dissolved in butanone and heated at 115° C in the presence of NaI. A ...
