Conversion of Oleic Acid into Azelaic and Pelargonic Acid by a Chemo-Enzymatic Route

A chemo-enzymatic approach for the conversion of oleic acid into azelaic and pelargonic acid is herein described. It represents a sustainable alternative to ozonolysis, currently employed at the industrial scale to perform the reaction. Azelaic acid is produced in high chemical purity in 44% isolati...
