Solvent‐Free Lipase‐Catalyzed Transesterification of Alcohols with Methyl Esters Under Vacuum‐Assisted Conditions

Abstract: Recent progress of the catalytic promiscuity of enzymes have invigorated the use of biocatalysis in organic chemistry. Explorations of biocatalysis for the synthesis of esters are critical since up to now, existing traditional methods are complicated, which usually require long reaction times, microwaves or even toxic reagents. This paper presents a versatile biocatalytic methodology to obtain benzyl esters through a transesterification reaction of methyl esters with Candida antarctica lipase B (CaLB) and benz… Show more

“…The influence of the alcohol nature in the lipase-catalysed esterification is a wellstudied area. In this sense, a detrimental effect of short-polar alcohols on lipases has been fully documented [82][83][84][85][86][87], mainly related to the penetration of these molecules (MeOH, EtOH) into the active site, resulting in a non-desired interaction with the catalytic histidine (His224 for CALB) [16]. Additionally, MeOH and EtOH has proven to alter the composition of the carrier (Lewatit VP OC 1600, a macroporous resin composed of methacrylic acid cross-linked with divinylbenzene) used in commercial Novozyme ® 435 [69,88], promoting aggregation (both for the native and immobilized CALB) and enzyme leaking from the support at high concentrations (higher than 15% v/v) [82].…”

“…From a green chemistry perspective, the best solvent for reactions is no solvent [24][25][26][27][28]. The solvent-free reactions are not always achievable and the selection of another more efficient solvent becomes critical.…”

“…The most popular enzyme that carried out hydrolysis and transesterification, along with other reactions, because of its catalytic promiscuity capability [24,25], is probably Lipase B from Candida Antarctica (CAL-B). Another characteristic of CAL-B which is widely exploited by synthetic organic chemists is its capability to catalyze many kinds of organic reactions with a wide variety of substrates in different organic solvents [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Thus, the chemo-enzymatic resolution of the racemic mixtures catalyzed by CAL-B, through alcohol acylation or ester hydrolysis [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], would be a practical approach for accessing the desired chiral products.…”
