The objective of this work is to propose a reaction mechanism and develop a model for the synthesis of isoamyl acetate from isoamyl alcohol and acetate anhydride by using lipase from Candida antarctica in a solvent-free system. Ping-Pong Bi-Bi reaction mechanism with acetic anhydride and acetic a...
