The synthesis of a crystalline isomer of linear triglycero13 is described in this paper. Probably the first reference to triglycerol was made by Lourenco4 who reported it as a distillable reaction product from the interaction of glycerol and gaseous hydrogen chloride. Levene and Walti6 hydrolyzed the reaction products resulting from the action of potassium acetate on epichlorohydrin to obtain several distillable products including a small quantity ...
