Solvent‐free lipase‐catalyzed thioesterification and transthioesterification of fatty acids and fatty acid esters with alkanethiols in Vacuo

Abstract Palmitic acid hexadecylthioester and other long‐chain acyl thioesters have been prepared in high yield (80–85%, purity >98%) by solvent‐free lipase‐catalyzed thioesterification of fatty acids with alkanethiols in vacuo . A lipase B preparation from Candida antarctica was more effective t...
