3-, 7- and 13-Monoketo tetradecanoic acid methyl esters carrying a keto group at the ends and at the middle of the chain with 14 carbon atoms were reduced by a Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reaction in the presence of R-(+)-1,1'-binaphthalene- 2,2'-diol, 1,2:5,6-D-di-O-isopropylidene-D-mannitol and L-(-)-menthol. The highest enantiomeric purity of 65% ee was found for 13-hydroxy ester isomer. The enantiomeric excess was determined by 1H-NMR shift with Eu(tfc)3 and by optical rotation.

In this work, the transesterification of methyl estolides (ME) extracted from the lipid component present in the sewage scum was investigated. Methyl 10-(R)-hydroxystearate (Me-10-HSA) and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) were obtained in a single step. A three-level and four factorial Box–Behnken experimental design were used to study the effects of methanol amounts, catalyst, temperature, and reaction time on the transesterification reaction using aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3·6H2O) or hydrochloric acid (HCl) as catalysts. AlCl3·6H2O was found quite active as well as conventional homogeneous acid catalysts as HCl. In both cases, a complete conversion of ME into Me-10-HSA and FAMEs was observed. The products were isolated, quantified, and fully characterized. At the end of the process, Me-10-HSA (32.3%wt) was purified through a chromatographic separation and analyzed by NMR. The high enantiomeric excess (ee > 92%) of the R-enantiomer isomer opens a new scenario for the valorization of sewage scum.

Enantiomers of N-trifluoroacetyl-amino acid methyl esters in CC14 solution, after addition of the chiral polysiloxane (L)-Chirasil-Val, display a chemical shift nonequivalence ΔΔδ in both 1H NMR and 19F NMR spectroscopy. The effects found for the leucine and valine derivatives can be correlated with the thermodynamic parameters of interaction in the undiluted system, as determined by gas chromatography. In CDC13 solution, no peak splitting was observed. The method is potentially useful for the determination of the enantiomeric purity of substrates of low volatility.

Long chain α–ω diols were readily accessed from renewable fatty acid methyl esters following an orthogonal tandem self-metathesis–ester hydrogenation protocol.
