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

In this work, 1-carboxypropyled (1-CPRLS) and 5-carboxypentyled lignosulfonates (5-CPELS) were synthesized using 2-chlorobutanoic acid and 6-chlorohexanoic acid as carboxylate group donors via SN1 and SN2 mechanisms, respectively. 1-Carboxypropyl and 5-carboxypentyl lignosulfonates with the charge densities of -3.45 and -2.94 meq
