The synthesis of monoglycerides and diglycerides by glycerolysis of fatty acid methyl esters, is an option to transform bio-glycerol into chemicals.  In this work, the liquid-phase MgO-promoted glycerolysis of methyl oleate to give glycerides was studied both, experimentally and by Density Functional Theory with the purpose to elucidate selectivity issues.
