Abstract

We describe here the first example in which glycerol has been transformed into chlorohydrin esters using an ionic liquid and hydrated aluminium chloride. The method avoids using Crown-18 ether, which was needed to obtain a similar yield when KCl was used. Alkyl and aryl acids can be used, although yields are very dependent on the carboxylic acid used. ; This work was supported by a Grant-in-Aid from the Secretaría de Estado de Política Científica y Tecnológica of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture (contract Grant No.: CTQ2006-07451/PPQ).
