Abstract

The acylation of isoamyl alcohol with acetic anhydride catalyzed by immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B was studied in ionic liquids (ILs) based on quaternary imidazolium cations with alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, benzyl, alkoxyl or N-aminopropyl side chains. Among the tested ILs, the highest enzyme activity together with the highest isoamyl acetate yield were obtained in [C7mmim][Tf2N]. No loss of lipase B activity was observed during one-month ...
