The acid‐catalyzed conversion of glycidyl stearate to monostearin has been investigated. By use of au essentially nonaqueous reaction medium and a two‐step procedure, high yields of monostearin were obtained at 15舑20C in brief reaction periods, while avoiding ester hydrolysis. Distearin was found to be a by‐product. The influence of solvent, reaction temperature, and type of acid catalyst upon the relative amounts of monostearin and distearin produced were studied. A possible reaction path leading to the formation of distearin is proposed.
