Description
Lipase B from Candida antarctica has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the synthesis of esters of ethyl D-glucopyranoside from fatty acids larger than octanoic acid. It has also been found to catalyze a wide variety of organic reactions including many different regio-and enantio-selective syntheses.
