32. To avoid confusion in the nomenclature of the polymers obtained from the ITC of the racemic hydroxy-esters and to remain consistent with our previously described polymers (see ref. 11), we decided to take the corresponding lactone as the monomer unit. Therefore the polymers corresponding to Me-6HH, Me-7HO, Me-8HN and Me-13HT are respectively poly(6-methyl-ε-caprolactone) (poly(6MeCL)), poly(7-methylheptanolactone) (poly(7-MeHL)), poly(8- methyloctanolactone) (poly(8-MeOL)) and poly(13-methyltridecanolactone) (poly(13-MeTL)).

39. Carother's formula: degree of polymerization = 1/(1 -conversion).
40. Since the rate of the reaction is determined by the racemization catalyst, increasing the amount of Novozym 435 does not lead to a faster reaction.

42. The use of racemization catalysts that do require the addition of a base lead consistently to deactivation of Novozym 435 in ITC reactions. The exact reason for this deactivation is currently unclear.
