Chiral resolutions of carboxylic acids (1-3) and alcohol (4) were carried out through esterification or transesterification in organic solvents using cross-linked enzyme crystals (CLEC(R)) of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL). Comparison of these results with those of elude CRL reveal significant differences. As was seen in resolution through hydrolysis,(1) a marked improvement in enantioselectivity is realized with the CLEC. Additionally, the stability afforded the enzyme in CLEC form leads to a higher activity in organic solvent. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

The thermodynamics of the lipase-catalyzed stereospecific esterification of 1-dodecanoic acid with (-)-menthol in seven organic solvents have been investigated. Equilibrium measurements were performed using hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, toluene, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, acetonitrile, and 2-methyl-2-butanol at the temperature T = 298.15 K. The equilibrium constants have been correlated with the (octanol + water) partition coefficients and the relative permittivities of the solvents. The saturation molalities and the (hexane + water) partition coefficients of (-)-menthol, 1-dodecanoic acid, and (-)-menthyl dodecanoate have also been determined at T = 298.15 K. The equilibrium constant of the esterification reaction in aqueous media has been calculated. An important finding is that the molality of water plays an important role in determining the extent of ester formation. Tn acetonitrile and 2-methyl-2-butanol, which have a very high molality of water, the formation of (-)-menthyl dodecanoate is considerably smaller. However, in hydrophobic solvents with lower molalities of water, the formation of (-)-menthyl dodecanoate is favored in the reaction mixture. The value of the equilibrium constant varies from 3 to 26. However, the molality of (-)-menthyl dodecanoate changes from 0.034 mmol kg(-1) in acetonitrile to 16 mmol kg(-1) in heptane. The change in product yield is a factor of approximate to 500 and is a striking example of the utility of organic solvents in biocatalysis.

AbstractEsterification of (−)‐menthol and (±)‐menthol with lauric acid in isooctane was successfully catalyzed by a commercial nonioic surfactant (sorbitan monosterate)‐coated lipase from Candida rugosa (Lipase AY “Amano” 30) at the molar ratio of 1∶1 and at 35°C using 1.5 g enzyme/g (−)‐menthol and 0.1‐g molecular sieves. After 1 h, molar conversion of (−)‐menthol reached 81%. Equilibrium was reached after ca. 4 h, giving a (−)‐menthol molar conversion of 94%. Under the same conditions, native lipase catalyzed the esterification of (−)‐menthol and lauric acid to yield a molar conversion of 93% after 72 h. Coating the lipase with sorbitan monosterate increased the esterification rates of both (−)‐menthol and (±)‐menthol with lauric acid. After 6 h, the molar conversions of (−)‐menthol and (±)‐menthol were 94, and 62%, respectively.
