Abstract
AbstractMany lipids derived from natural sources are based on the glycerin molecule. Synthetically alkyl glycidyl ether can be used as a C‐3 building block for lipid molecules as well as alkyl glyceryl ether. Several glycidyl and glyceryl ethers have been studied as C‐3 synthetic building blocks for lipids used in surfactants/emulsifiers, cosmetics, or toiletries. From an environmental viewpoint, several surfactants and detergents have been modified by using epichlorohydrin or glycerides as C‐3 building blocks to have higher performance or biodegradability. Recently, complex lipid molecules having special bioactivities have attracted attention among chemists. Glycidyl ether would be expected to be one of the synthetic building blocks for such complex lipids.
