Abstract
GLYCERIDES of known structure are usually prepared by blocking one or two hydroxyls of glycerol and esterifying the remaining hydroxyl or hydroxyls with fatty-acid chlorides. Thus monoglycerides are obtained by the action of a fatty-acid chloride on acetone–glycerol according to the well-known method of Fischer et al. 1, whereas mixed di- and tri-glycerides have been synthesized by Verkade and co-workers2 by the use of triphenyl-chloro-methane.
