Abstract In this paper, the optimum conditions and kinetics of lipase-catalyzed transesterification reaction of nerol and vinyl acetate for the synthesis of neryl acetate were investigated in a solvent-free system. The optimum conditions were determined as follows: the reaction temperature was 40 °C, the amount of enzyme was 12 mg/mL, and there was no need to add water. Increasing the stirring speed to 200 r/min can eliminate the external diffusion limitations. There was no substrate inhibition when the substrate concentration was lower than 500 mmol/L. However, the experimental results indicated that the product inhibition effect should be considered. The results of the reaction kinetic analysis indicated that the reaction followed the ping-pong double-double reaction mechanism with product inhibition. Finally, the model parameters were calculated by MATLAB software and the results showed that the experimental values could be in good agreement with the simulated values, and the relative error was 6.98%.
