Abstract

View all references the reaction occurs only at the secondary alcohol and not at the primary alcohol group. Commercially available neutral chromatographic alumina19d–g View all references??mediated transesterification of β??ketoesters with 1,2?? or 1,3??diols fails to give the monoacylated product. All these methods use “green catalysts” (viz. kaolinitic clay, Hβ??zeolite, alumina) for the acylation of glycerol and diols, but none of them are selective for the monoacylated ...
