The salient features of this protocol are the short reaction time, ease of product isolation and reusability of the carbon catalyst. %K Acetylation %K Glycerol-Based Carbon-SO< %K sub> %K 3< %K /sub> %K H Catalyst %K Solvent-Free Method %K Alcohols %K Phenols %K Amines %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=32006
