The ester syntheses from acyl donors and terpene alcohols catalyzed by Candida cylindracea(CCL) lipase have been carried out in supercritical carbon dioxide(SC-CO2). In the nearcritical region, the rate of esterification showed a sharp maximum and /-terpene esters were stereoselectively synthesized
