Abstract
Both positional isomers of dichloropropanol, diethoxy propanol and propanol, were esterified with butyric and palmitic acid and the resulting esters subjected to milk lipase action. Since insignificant hydrolysis occurred when the fatty acid was esterified in the 2 position, milk lipase probably is specific for the primary ester position.
