【 摘 要 】

In this work, we report a new method for obtaining racemic β-hydroxyesters by reduction of β-ketoesters. The use of glycerol as a reactional medium in selective reduction of β-ketoesters into the corresponding alcohols was shown to be a viable and more efficient alternative compared with the conventional methodology, taking into account green chemistry prerogatives.
