α‐Chymotrypsin catalysis in imidazolium‐based ionic liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, the transesterification reaction of N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine ethyl ester with 1-propanol catalyzed by α-chymotrypsin was examined in the ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]) and 1-octyl- 3methylorinamide hexafloorophosphates ([omim]], and in combination with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2).
