Biocatalytic aminolysis of ethyl (S)-mandelate by lipase from Candida antarctica

Enzymes play many roles in the advancement of biotechnology, discovery of new therapeutic agents and industrial processes. In this perspective, aminolysis reactions using lipase from Candida antarctica (CAL-B) were performed from ethyl (S)-mandelate and several aliphatic amines (45 °C, hexane, 3–6 h). By means of optimized conditions, amides with excellent isolated yields (60–97%) were synthetized. The biotechnological potential of CAL-B as a promising approach for the synthesis of organic compounds in a more sustainable, rapid, efficient and green chemistry perspective was verified on these results.
