Summary

Lipase fromCandida cylindracea was coupled with polyethylene glycol(PEG). In contrast to the previously used lipase fromPseudomonas fluorescens, the modified lipase catalyzed the ester synthesis in benzene at 25°C from short-chain alcohols and α- or β-substituted carboxylic acid. Using the modified lipase, following esters were synthesized; pentyl α-methylpentanate, methyl benzoate, and methyl retinoate.
