Several inexpensive alkaline hydroxides were tested, and total conversions of epichlorohydrin were achieved. Although high yields of the desired products were possible, the final selectivity of the reaction depends strongly on the alcohol used. Eleven symmetric glyceryl diethers were prepared employing this synthetic methodology and, in order to determine their usefulness as solvents, their physicochemical properties (density, dielectric permittivity, refractive index, viscosity, surface tension, and boiling point) were measured and compared with those for similar conventional solvents. The results obtained prove the utility of these compounds as a green alternative to solvents obtained from nonrenewable sources. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E37-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/FPU14-04338 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RTI2018-093431-B-100 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.766 2019 7.632 2019 Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) 2019 Q1 ENGINEERING, CHEMICAL 8 / 143 = 0.056 2019 Q1 T1 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2019 Q1 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 4 / 41 = 0.098 2019 Q1 T1 Environmental Chemistry 2019 Q1 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 25 / 177 = 0.141 2019 Q1 T1 Chemistry (miscellaneous) 2019 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-6751-6306 Pérez, Pascual Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1570-4257 Mayoral, José A.
