Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL‐B) is a very effective catalyst for the production of amines and amides using different enzymatic procedures. Simplicity of use, low cost, commercial availability and recycling possibility make this lipase an ideal tool for the synthesis and resolution of a wide range of nitrogenated compounds that can be used for the production of pharmaceuticals and interesting manufactures in the industrial sector.
