Application

Glyceryl tributyrate can be used as:
  • A model compound to study transesterification in vegetable oil for the synthesis of biodiesel catalyzed by the metal-loaded MgAl oxides.
  • A reactant in the synthesis of methyl butanoate by transesterification with methanol using Li-promoted CaO catalysts.
