Question Possible way to turn Isopropylphenidate to Ethylphenidate?

[mdpv]

I was reading that you can turn IPPH to EPH with ethanol.
Is this possible?

you have to hydrolize the ester to the acid and then react with another alcohol to obtain a different ester... transesterification reaction is best and can be done with enzymes (novozyme- CAL) but I dont know a protocol... the easiest way is to get the ritalinic acid
