Abstract
The activity and enantioselectivity of Candida rugosa lipase were investiga ted in chiral solvents, (-)-, (+)- and racemic carvone, for the resolution of 2-chloro-propionic acid with n-butanol via esterification. The activity of the enzyme studied was about 50% higher in (-)-carvone than in (+)-carvo ne, however the enantioselectivity was similar.
