Lipase-catalysed transesterification using 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl butyrate: Effect of temperature on rate of reaction and enantioselectivity

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(92)80015-O

Temperature of the reaction and the solvent used markedly influenced the enantioselectivity and rate of transesterification reaction catalysed by Candida cylindracea between 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl butyrate (TFEB) and 3,7-dimethyl-6-octenol, and that between TFEB and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol.
