Glycerine carbonate is obtained by the transesterification of ethylene carbonate or dimethyl carbonate with glycerine, producing ethylene glycol or methanol as by-products. A further synthesis starts with glycidol (2,3-epoxy-1-propanol), which is reacted under pressure with CO2 in the presence of catalysts to form glycerine carbonate. Glycerine carbonate is a clear liquid of low viscosity with a density of 1.398 g·cm−3 that boils at 125-130° C. (0.15 mbar).
