Abstract
Use of vinyl acetate as acyl donor in transesterification of benzyl alcohol catalyzed by a commercially available lipase (Lipozyme® RM IM) gave 100% conversion in 10 min. The excess acyl donor and the enzyme could be recovered and reused. Unlike the chemical catalytic processes, it produced no undesirable side product.
Graphical abstractCommercially available immobilized Mucor miehei lipase, Lipozyme® RM IM, with benzyl alcohol and vinyl acetate in 1:6 molar ratio, in solvent-free medium, at pH 7 and at 45 °C gives 100% yield of benzyl acetate in 10 min.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
