Description

1-Benzylglycerol is a bifunctional reagent that can be used as an inorganic base or an organic solvent. It has been used to synthesize enantiopure compounds, such as fatty acids. 1-Benzylglycerol reacts with boron trifluoride etherate to form the corresponding ester, which is a reaction system for the synthesis of persulfates. The hydroxyl group on 1-benzylglycerol can be reacted with hydroxyl groups on fatty acids, catalyzed by lipase or chemoenzymes, to produce esters. 1-Benzylglycerol has been used in asymmetric synthesis and carbon tetrachloride immobilization reactions.
