Optimization of lipase-mediated synthesis of 1-nonene oxide using phenylacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide

Herein, an efficient epoxidation of 1-nonene is described. In a simple epoxidation system, commercially available Novozym 435, an immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were utilized to facilitate the in situ oxidation of phenylacetic acid to the corresponding peroxy a...
