1. A process for converting glycerol to an amino alcohol product comprising:
- reacting glycerol with a metal catalyst to obtain hydroxyacetone;
reacting the hydroxyacetone with an amine compound to obtain an adduct; and
reducing the adduct using a reducing agent to obtain an amino alcohol product.
