A kilogram-scale synthesis of (Z)-3-hexen-1-yl acetate, in hexane, on direct esterification of (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol with acetic acid in the presence of 2% (w/w reactants) of an immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozym 435) is reported. Conversion yields ranging from 92 to 96% were obtained af
