Esterification of hydroxy compounds by fatty acid anhydrides

Partial glycerides are rapidly and completely esterified at room temperature to triglycerides by fatty acid anhydrides in the presence of perchloric acid. This esterification occurs without isomerization of the partial glyceride. As a consequence, by the use of partial glycerides of the appropriate...
