A series of glycerol carbonate esters derived from glycerol carbonate was synthesised by acylation of glycerol carbonate in the presence of aliphatic acyl chlorides. These compounds are characterised polyoxygenated by an endocyclic diester function and an exocyclic ester function. Physical and physicochemical properties of glycerol carbonate esters are determined. These compounds present a good thermal and oxidation stability. They exhibit surfactant properties towards water/soybean oil interface. The polyfunctional properties enable developments in existing industrial applications as well as in new niche markets.
