Reaction Steps

Methylethylketone (7.21 g, 9.01 ml, 0.1 mol), glycerol (92.09 g, 73.7 ml, 1 mol), and 10% Pd/C (5 wt %, 0.36 g) are charged to a Parr reactor, purged with nitrogen, heated to 200° C. with stirring and run at 1000 psi of hydrogen for 7 hrs. GC analysis reveals complete consumption of methylethylketone and shows the presence of glycerol monoether, 3-sec-butoxy-1,2-propanediol and 2-sec-butoxy-1,3-propanediol (84.9%), glycerol diethers 1,3-di-sec-butoxy-2-propanol and 2,3-di-sec-butoxy-1-propanol (5.5%), 2-butanol (4.6%).
