Analyses were run on a Perkin Elmer Optima 53 DV in axial direction at 394.41 nm. A calibration curve was obtained by using seven aqueous solutions containing 3, 2, 15, 1, 6, 4 and 2 ppb of Al. These solutions were all prepared by dilution of a 1 mg/l standard solution of ionic Al in HNO3. The linear fit was automatically calculated by the ICP software resulting with interceptor = 151.8, slope = 21.7 and correlation coefficient =.996961. A total of three samples were considered for Al-analyses. They were obtained according to the procedure described in the experimental section. The first two samples (A and B) derived from the reaction of Glyc3 and Glyc4 (see Table 1, main text) with acetone catalyzed by AlF3 3H2O. While, the third one was prepared by flowing the reactants glycerol (Glyc3) and acetone through the CF-apparatus in the absence of the catalyst (Blank). Before any measure, each sample was first diluted with milli-q water (2 ml). A and B were then diluted again in a 1:3 v/v ratio. Table S1 reports the results. Each analysis was the average of 6 subsequent acquisitions. Ion Chromatography Analysis Table S1. ICP-OES analyses of the Al content.

Analyses were run on a Dionex LC2 (Chromatography enclosure) equipped with a Dionex GP4 gradient pump and a Dionex ECD ED4 (working at 1 ma). A Dionex AS14 was used as column with 1mM carbonate/3.5 mm bicarbonate as a mobile phase. A calibration curve was obtained by using four aqueous solutions containing.5, 1, 3, 7 ppm of F. The linear fit was automatically calculated by the chromatograph control software (Chromeleon) resulting with slope =.131, interceptor forced to and correlation coefficient =.999868. A total of two samples were considered for F analyses. They were obtained according to the procedure described in the experimental section. The first sample (A) was derived from the reaction of glycerol (Glyc3) with acetone catalyzed by AlF3 3H2O while, the second one was prepared by flowing the reactants in the absence of the catalyst (blank). Before any measure, each sample was first diluted with milli-q water in a 1:5 v/v ratio. Table S1 reports the results. Each analysis was the average of 4 subsequent acquisitions.
