Abstract: A combination of Novozym 435-catalyzed methanolysis and amidation using racemic N-methyl-
5-acetoxytridecan- and tetradecanamides as a substrate proceeded in good enantioselectivity to afford the
cyclohexyl-5-hydroxyalkanamides. Both enantiomers of δ-tri- and δ-tetradecalactones were synthesized in
over 90% enantiomeric excesses from the corresponding (R)- or (S)-alkanamides. Addition of
cyclohexylamine to Novozym 435-catalyzed methanolysis shortened 24-hour reaction time to reach about
50% conversion. Enantiomers of optically active δ-tri- and δ-tetradecalactones had different odors and

There is a great deal of research still to be done to identify those prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, herbs and chemicals that are liver toxic. Some substances affect everyone negatively, some are dangerous for people who have
