実験手順

Decanoic acid (2.00 g, 11.61 mmol), vanillyl alcohol (1.74 g, 11.27 mmol), and Novozym 435 (100 mg) were measured and placed in a flask (25 ml). The mixture in the flask free of a plug was heated with stirring in an oil bath at 50° C. for 20 hours. After 2 to 3 hours of stirring with heating, attachment of water on the wall of the upper part of the flask was observed. The reaction mixture was returned to room temperature, hexane (50 ml) was added, and Novozym 435 and a small amount of precipitated vanillyl alcohol were removed by filtration. The filtrate was washed with 5% aqueous citric acid solution (25 ml) and saturated brine (25 ml), and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a mixture (3.41 g) of vanillyl decanoate and decanoic acid as a colorless oil. As a result of the analysis, the yield of vanillyl decanoate was 94.1%. The mixture contained 6.0 wt % of decanoic acid relative to vanillyl decanoate.
