MFI-type zeolite with crystals in the nanometer range possess improved textural properties, which may positively affect their performance as catalysts in reactions involving bulky molecules. Higher conversion and selectivity to bulky products were obtained when easily prepared nanostructured MFI zeolites were used in glycerol etherification with tert butyl alcohol.
