(Poly)glycerol monoethers were synthesized in good yield and selectivity by the catalytic reductive alkylation of glycerol, diglycerol, and triglycerol with readily available, cheap and/or bio‐sourced carboxylic acids. The reaction was catalyzed by 1 mol % of Pd/C under 50 bar H 2 using an acid ion‐exchange resin as a recyclable cocatalyst. The catalytic system was recycled several times, and a mechanism is proposed for this transformation.
