“…Based on the Arrhenius equation, the activation energy can be calculated using the following equation Thus, based on the data in Table , activation energies in different media for the forward and reverse acyl migration reactions were calculated, and the results are presented in Table . The apparent activation energies in solventless, hexane, chloromethane, acetone, t -butanol, and ethanol were estimated to be 71.6, 79.2, 85.9, 90.0, 105.8, and 92.5 kJ/mol, respectively, which are significantly higher than those in lipase-catalyzed reactions . The forward and reverse reactions had similar activation energies.…”
