摘要
Diglycerol (DG) is a useful compound for food, cosmetic and chemical applications being available from cheap glycerol of biodiesel manufacture. Homogeneous catalyzed conversions led to a distribution of the three isomers (58(伪伪鈥? : 35(伪尾) : 7(尾尾鈥?; glycerol conversion (X) = 55%, DG yield (Y-DG) = 40%; 7 h). This can be shifted in favor of 伪尾-DG by using basic zeolites (e.g. CsX, 24(伪伪鈥? : 52(伪尾) : 24(尾尾鈥?; X = 70%, Y-DG ca. 45%; 8 h). Otherwise, acidic Nafion庐 catalyst revealed 69(伪伪鈥? : 27(伪尾) : 4(尾尾鈥? distribution (X = 93%, Y-DG ca. 68%; 24 h) using a falling film reactor under reduced pressure.
