โฆ Synopsis
Cundida antarctica lipase was investigated for the synthesis of short chain fatty acid esters of geraniol in a solvent-free system. Maximal activity occurred at 60ยฐC. High yields (about, 100%) were obtained with propionate and butyrate, while acetate showed much lower reactivity. The enzyme was used in four consecutive batch reactions with only a 10% loss of activity.

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Reactions performed under solventโfree conditions give processes that are environmentally friendly, since most solvents are polluting agents. In this work, the performance of __Candida rugosa__ lipae (CRL) immobilized on styreneโdivinylbenzene (STYโDVB) or controlled po
The ball-milling technique was used under solvent-free conditions to perform a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction in the presence of a mild carbonate base. Starting from a phosphonate-substituted glycine, this method gave access to Boc-protected unsaturated amino esters in excellent yield and selectiv
The direct, lipase-catalyzed esterifications of glycerol-3-phosphate in an organic solvent system and in a solvent free system were carried out. In a solvent free system only, LPA synthesis could be achieved within the acceptable reaction time. Open reaction system was preferable to closed reaction
