METHODS FOR PREPARING ACETATE ESTERS OF DIOLS AND POLYOLS USING CORYNEBACTERIUM OXYDANS IN SUBSTANTIALLY AQUEOUS MEDIA

摘要

Acetate esters of diols and polyols can be prepared in aqueous systems using a biocatalyst derived from Corynebacterium oxydans. The method involves the step of reacting a diol or polyol with an acetate ester in a substantially aqueous environment in the presence of the biocatalyst.
