Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in which an ester of mycophenolic acid (MPA) with a low-molecular-weight aliphatic alcohol is transesterified with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)morpholine in the presence of Candida antarctica lipase, and in which the MPA esterification reaction is carried out in the presence of Candida antarctica lipase using the corresponding alcohol as the solvent.
