An esterification process was developed for the direct synthesis of 2-hydroxy-5-hexenyl 2-chlorobutyrate ester from 2-chlorobutyric acid by using the epoxide 1,2-epoxy-5-hexene and Mucor miehei immobilised lipase as the biocatalyst in a batch reactor. The effect of temperature, catalyst concentration, and
