Abstract
The lipase-catalysed esterification of racemic heptan-2-ol in organic solvent has been investigated. Porcine pancreas lipase, suspended in heptane, preferentially catalyses the synthesis of (R)-2heptyl butyrate starting from (R,S)-heptan-2-ol and butyric acid. The distribution of the reaction products and the stereochemical course of the esterification have been investigated by means of capillary gas chromatographic methods.
