BACKGROUND: An indirect solvent-free synthetic approach for obtaining glycerol carbonate and glycidol from glycerol and CO 2 through their more reactive and easily synthesizable derivatives 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (HAL) and potassium (hydrogen) carbonate has been studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
