Liquid poly(ethylene glycol) and supercritical carbon dioxide as a biphasic solvent system for lipase-catalyzed esterification

Abstract

The biphasic solvent system composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is ideally suited for the lipase-catalyzed acylation of alcohols; batch or continuous flow acylations are possible, scCO2 being used to extract the products.
