Abstract-This work describes the lipase-mediated synthesis of α -pinene oxide at ambient temperature. The immobilized lipase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is used to generate peroxyoctanoic acid directly from octanoic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The peroxy acid formed is then applied for in situ oxidation of α -pinene. High conversion of α -pinene to α -pinene oxide (approximately 78%) was achieved when using 0,1 g enzim lipase, 6 mmol H 2 O 2 , dan 5 mmol octanoic acid. Various parameters affecting the conversion of α -pinene to α -pinene oxide were studied Index Terms-α-Pinene, P. aeruginosa, octanoic acid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
