Method of synthesis of esters of organic acids and alcohols in phase heterogeneous by enzymatic catalysis

摘要

The invention relates to the field of synthesis of specific esters of polyols and organic acids. According to a preferred embodiment, it consists in bringing into contact, with stirring, an aqueous phase, containing a triol such as glycerol and a lipase, and an organic phase containing a fatty acid and an organic solvent which is immiscible with water. In the case where the monoester formed is soluble in the solvent (chlorine-containing solvent), the reaction leads to a high yield of monoesters. In the case where the monoester is insoluble in the solvent (aliphatic solvent), the reaction leads to a high yield of a diester.
