OPTIMIZATION OF LIPASE-CATALYZED SYNTHESIS OF CITRONELLYL ACETATE IN SOLVENT-FREE MEDIUM

peer reviewed Citronellol esterification catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase is performed with high yields (74%) in a solvent-free medium. The use of dessicants gives a 10% yield enhancement and substrate excess consumption by adding calculated amounts of acetic acid lead to a 80% pure citronelly...

Description
Summary:peer reviewed Citronellol esterification catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase is performed with high yields (74%) in a solvent-free medium. The use of dessicants gives a 10% yield enhancement and substrate excess consumption by adding calculated amounts of acetic acid lead to a 80% pure citronellyl acetate. Quantities up to 100 ml are treated with success.
