Abstract

Abstract Phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) forms a blue-colored complex with glycerol in a 1: 10 molar ratio. The glycerolato complex catalyzes conversion of glycerol into 1, 3-dioxolane-4- methanol derivatives with complete regiospecificity in high yields (> 95%) and the catalyst can be recycled up to ten times without loss of activity or regiospecificity.
