Abstract: | The feasibility of using mixtures of C4 and C5 chain-length aliphatic alcohols from fusel oil as the bulk organic media for lipase-mediated synthesis of laurate esters was assessed. Reaction mixtures consisted of lauric acid, lipase, solvent (if added), and appropriate amount of fusel oil (previously dehydrated with inorganic salts and molecular sieves). The influence of the reaction conditions such as substrate concentrations and temperature were investigated. Increased molar ratio of acyl donor to acyl acceptor allowed the esterification to proceed with no need for solvent addition. |
