Here in this communication, we report that combination of glycerol with scCO2 is a convenient tool for designing highly green catalytic processes. Indeed, as water, glycerol is cheap, abundant and non toxic. However, as compared to water, glycerol is poorly miscible and non reactive with scCO2 offering thus an alternative of choice for overcoming a lot of drawbacks encountered with water and scCO2 Key-words. Glycerol, scCO2, catalysis; green process, Heck coupling
