Summary:•Easy and fast enzymatic synthesis of chlorophyllides a and b esters.•Dunalliela salina provided both the enzyme chlorophyllase and chlorophyll substrates.•Chromatographic properties of esters of different alcohols and diols were studied.•Chlorophyllide a (8′-hydroxyoctyl) ester was selected and completely characterized.•The proposed internal standard showed adequate stability over time. In this article the chlorophyllase activity of Dunaliella salina has been employed to generate different chlorophyllide a and b esters that could potentially be used as internal standards in pigment analysis. Chlorophyllide a (8’-hydroxyoctyl) ester was selected due its adequate chromatographic and spectral properties and was fully characterized by UV-Vis, ESI-MS and NMR. An easy room temperature procedure for its synthesis is described. Attachment
