ABSTRACT Representative glycerol-based solvents were employed as green reaction mediums for various organic reactions. It was found that the solubility of the substrate in the solvent, which depends on solvent polarity, is the main factor that affects reaction performance. In addition, the effect of solvent polarity on product solubility in the reaction solvent determined the effectiveness of product separation by extraction with glycerol immiscible solvent.
