Both enantiomers of δ ‐lactones ( δ ‐decalactone, δ ‐undecalactone and δ ‐dodecalactone) were synthesized in three steps via Novozym 435‐catalysed acetylation of rac ‐ N ‐methyl‐5‐hydroxyalkylamides with about 80% e.e. The enantiomeric excess of δ ‐lactones was increased to 89–99% e.e. by substitution of porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL)‐catalysed hydrolysis of rac ‐ N ‐methyl‐5‐acetoxyalkylamides for Novozym 435‐catalysed acetylation of rac ‐ N ‐methyl‐5‐hydroxyalkylamides.
