Abstract
Novozym 435 (50 g l(-1)) catalyzed the synthesis of n-octyl-beta-d-glucopyr anoside lactate by transesterification between n-octyl-beta-d-glucopyranosi de (30 g l(-1)) and ethyl lactate (100 g l(-1)) in acetone. In 12 h, a mola r yield of 87% n-octyl beta-d- glucopiranoside lactate was obtained at a ov erall conversion of 90%.
