The use of fatty and aromatic acids as green acyl donors for enzymatic kinetic resolution via esterification of 1-phenylethanol and 1-phenylpropan-2-ol was described. The impact of the presence of magnesium sulfate on both reactivity and selectivity of Candidarugosalipase (CRL) was checked. The organic solvents, the medium dilution, and the temperature revealed as determinant parameters to achieve
