A method is described for the synthesis of cyclic thionocarbonates of 1-O-alkyl glycerols in quantitative yield. These derivatives of glycerol ethers can be quantitated by UV absorbance, analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, or quantitatively converted to allyl alkyl ethers for gas-chromatographic analysis.
