Graphite oxide (GO) was modified by acetic anhydride via a catalyzed ring-opening reaction of the attached epoxy groups at very mild condition. The dispersion of the modified GO is thus largely imporved in many organic solvents and the highest GO concentration reaches 2.0[Formula: see text]mg/mL in alkyl(aryl) chlorides, ethers, alcohols and cyclohexane, which is amongst the highest value for GO in organics.

Treatment of 3-oxetanol with carbon tetrabromide (CBr4) and triphenylphosphine (PPh3) under mild condition provides an efficient route for synthesis of 3-bromo-1,2-propanediol. The experimental results showed that an unexpected ring-opening reaction was selectively achieved under the routine bromination reaction condition.

In this study, palm oil-based polyols were prepared and characterized. In order to prepare the polyol, Epoxidized palm oil (EPO) was reacted with glycerol and undergoes ring opening reaction. The synthesized oil was characterized by oxygen oxirane content titration (OOC), hydroxyl value test (HV), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Based on the FTIR spectrum of polyols, the disappearance of epoxy groups at 825cm-1, 843cm-1 and the emergence of hydroxyl group at 3394cm-1 are obvious indicating that hydroxyl group of the polyols formed. In NMR, the presence of new signal at δ 3.46ppm (-CH-OH) showed the attachment of hydroxyl group onto the epoxidized palm oil.

An efficient, simple and regioselective ring-opening reaction of epoxides with various carboxylic acids under metal-free conditions is reported. The ring-opening of epoxides takes place in the presence of graphite oxide as an efficient and available catalyst to produce the corresponding 2-hydroxy monoester and 1,2-diester derivatives in good yields. Regioselective attack of the nucleophile, short reaction times, metal-free conditions and reusability of catalyst are among the advantages of the present protocol.
