Two innovative and efficient routes were developed to produce glycerol-alkyl ethers employing Williamson reaction conditions in a heterogeneous medium. Thus, the ion exchange resin Amberlyst A26 TM − OH form and KOH supported on alumina (KOH/Al 2 O 3 ) were used as basic solid reagents for alkoxide...
