Title: Glycerol+Butyl glycol
Post by: Behnam on May 28, 2015, 06:27:47 AM

Hello every one,

Does anyone know what is the reaction between Glycerol & Butyl glycol?

Both are more functional alcohols, there is no reaction each other

They can interact via weak intermolecular forces.

Yes alcohols may mix but don't react.

In addition, alcohols can react between them, in the presence of strong mineral or Lewis acids and form ethers. In the given case and under strong acidic and dehydrating conditions, a mixture of mixed ethers together with n-butyl vinyl ether and acrolein, would be obtained.
