General description
2-Methylbutyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid used as a chemical intermediate for plasticizers and lubricants.
Enantioselective esterification of (+/-)-2-methylbutynic acid catalyzed by Chromobacterium viscosum lipase immobilized in microemulsion-based organogels has been investigated.
