Application of enzymes to the synthesis of amino acid‐based bola and gemini surfactants

Abstract A facile and flexible chemoenzymatic route for the preparation of a variety of amino acid‐based surfactants ranging from simple monoesters to more complex bola‐ and gemini‐amphiphiles is described. The methodology is based on the observation that some lipases, notably immobilized Candida an...
