Ethanol → acryloyl-CoA

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of acrylyl coenzyme A is prepared at a concentration of 890 ppm following a similar method to that outlined in Example 1a but prepared in water and using one third the amount of S-acetyl coenzyme A synthetase. To this, 44 mg/mL of ethanol and 100 mg/mL of Novozym 435 are added following example 1b. After 2 hours at 37° C. the concentration of ethyl acrylate is found to be 16.4 ppm.
