A convenient and economical procedure for synthesis of long‐chain 1‐O‐alkyl glyceryl ethers (V) is described. Alkyl glycidyl ethers (II) which were derived from the reaction of alcohols (I) with epichlorohydrin using a phase transfer catalyst were first converted into the corresponding dioxolanes (III) or 1‐O‐alkyl‐2,3‐di‐O‐acetylglycerols (IV). Subsequent hydrolysis of the resultant products provided 1‐O‐alkyl glyceryl ethers (V) in high yields.
