title = "Combining AlCl3·6H2O and an ionic liquid to prepare chlorohydrin esters from glycerol",
abstract = "We describe here the first example in which glycerol has been transformed into chlorohydrin esters using an ionic liquid and hydrated aluminium chloride. The method avoids using Crown-18 ether, which was needed to obtain a similar yield when KCl was used. Alkyl and aryl acids can be used, although yields are very dependent on the carboxylic acid used.",
