Enantioselective synthesis of (-)-menthyl acetate in a batch stirred tank reactor: effects of fed batch feeding strategy

Investigation involving enantioselective synthesis of chiral compounds catalysed by immobilised enzyme lipase is a viable option. In this study, acetic anhydride as an acylating agent was employed with (±)-menthol, a secondary alcohol in enantioselective synthesis of (-)-menthyl acetate in a fed b...
