Synthesis of hydroxyfatty esters by sequential epoxidation-hydrogenolysis: Solvent effects

The tandem/sequential combination of epoxidation and hydrogenolysis for unsaturated fatty esters is not straightforward, due to incompatibility problems with the impurities present or generated in the used solvents. The chlorinated impurities in alpha, alpha, alpha-trifluorotoluene leads to the form...
