The addition of water to non-activated carbon-carbon double bonds catalyzed by fatty acid hydratases (FAHYs) allows for highly regio- and stereoselective oxyfunctionalization of renewable oil feedstock. So far, the applicability of FAHYs has been limited to free fatty acids, mainly owing to the requirement of a carboxylate function for substrate recognition and binding. Herein, we describe for the first time the hydration of oleic acid (OA) derivatives lacking this free carboxylate by the oleate ...[more]
