Abstract :
The methacrylate ester of citronellol was synthesized using various lipases as catalyst. The effect of different reaction parameters such as amount of lipase, solvent, temperature, and acylating agent on the conversion of citronellol to citronellyl methacrylate was studied. Methyl methacrylate, vinyl methacrylate, and 2,3-butanedione mono-oxime methacrylate were used as acylating agents. Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL), Candida rugosa lipase (CRL), and Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (Amano-PS) were used as biocatalysts. Diisopropyl ether (DIPE) was found to be the most suitable solvent. The stereoselectivity of CRL in transesterification of (+/-)-citronellol was tested for the optimized reaction parameters. |
