Figure 24 Preparation of monoacylglycerols by lipase-catalyzed partial hydrolysis of fats<br />

(top) <strong>and</strong> esterification of fatty acids with glycerol (bottom).<br />

Monoacylglycerols of less common fatty acids, such as 9(10)acetonoyloctadecanoic<br />

acid, have been obtained in high yields by one-pot reaction of this acid<br />

with glycerol <strong>and</strong> lipase in the presence of phenylboronic acid as a solubilizing agent<br />

(151).<br />

5. Lactones <strong>and</strong> Estolides<br />

Musk lactones are used in the fragrance industry. Hexadecanolide, a musk monolactone,<br />

has been obtained in good yields by intramolecular lactonization of 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic<br />

acid, catalyzed by immobilized lipase from C<strong>and</strong>ida antarctica,<br />

whereby oligolactones are not formed by intermolecular lactonization (189).<br />

Reaction of lesquerolic (14-hydroxy-11-eicosenoic) acid with oleic acid, catalyzed<br />

by lipase from C<strong>and</strong>ida rugosa, produces mainly monoestolides containing<br />

one molecule each of the hydroxy acid <strong>and</strong> oleic acid per molecule, whereas the<br />

corresponding reaction, catalyzed by Pseudomonas sp. lipase, produces substantial<br />

proportions of monoestolides containing two molecules of lesquerolic acid per molecule<br />

besides diestolides (190). Properties of mono- <strong>and</strong> polyestolides, synthesized<br />

chemically, can be substantially improved by esterification of the estolides with fatty<br />

alcohols or �,�-diols, catalyzed by lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (190).<br />

of fats with glycerol (glycerolysis).<br />
