Glycerol transesterification with ethyl acetate to synthesize acetins using ethyl acetate as reactant and entrainer

Transesterification of glycerol with ethyl acetate was performed over acidic catalysts in the batch and semi-batch systems. Ethyl acetate was used as reactant and entrainer to remove the produced ethanol during the reaction, through azeotrope formation. Since the azeotrope of ethyl acetate and ethan...
