Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: (S)-Methyl 3-hydroxyhexadecanoate and 2,2,2-trichloroethyl alcohol were reacted according to a similar manner to that of Preparation 1 to give (S)-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) 3-hydroxyhexadecanoate. of Preparation 1

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: (S)-Methyl 3-hydroxyhexadecanoate and benzyl bromide were reacted according to a similar manner to that of Preparation 1 to give (S)-benzyl 3-hydroxyhexadecanoate. of Preparation 1

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: (S)-Methyl 3-hydroxyhexadecanoate (1.0 g) was dissolved in a solution of 40% methylamine in methanol (15 ml). This mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The resulting crystalline solid was collected by filtration to give (S)-N-methyl-3-hydroxyhexadecanamide (0.71 g). The resulting crystalline solid was collected by filtration
