The assumption that oxides (glycidol, glycidol acetate, glycidol formate) are the intermediate molecular products of the oxidation reaction of allyl alcohol and its esters in the medium of acetic acid has been grounded. To optimize the process of obtaining glycerin esters the kinetics of these oxides reaction with acetic and formic acids has been investigated. Glycidol formate was found to be the most stable compound and glycidol – the least stable one. The rate of oxides reaction with formic acid is by order higher than that with acetic acid. It is reasonable to use allyl formate as the starting material to achieve the maximum yields of glycerin esters.
