Abstract

Abstract During the studies towards synthesis of carboxylic acids esters, using ethyl carbonate and carboxylic acid as substrates, we found that different single enzyme systems provide model ethyl 3-phenylpropanoate in very low yield. Systematic studies proved that combination of two or more enzymes enhances yield of reaction. Application of selected enzyme mixture for enzymatic esterification of various carboxylic acids provided ...
