Abstract Glycerol has environmental advantages such as nontoxicity and biodegradability, and economic advantages supplied from biodiesel industries. Therefore, various chemical conversions using glycerol have been developed. Transfer hydrogenation is a reaction which transfers hydrogen atoms to organic compounds in the absence of H2 gas. It is difficult and dangerous to handle H2 gas as the hydrogen source, so we investigated other hydrogen sources instead of H2 gas. Due to the many advantages of glycerol, glycerol is used as a hydrogen source to reduce organic carbonates. In addition to the hydrogen source, the economic feasibility of this reaction can be increased via transformation of glycerol to lactic acid after transfer hydrogenation. In this presentation, we present detailed conditions and reaction results of transfer hydrogenation of carbonates.
