A Combined Bio-Chemical Synthesis Route for 1-Octene Sheds Light on Rhamnolipid Structure

Here we report a chemoenzymatic approach to synthesize 1-octene from carbohydrates via ethenolysis of rhamnolipids. Rhamnolipids synthesized by <i>P. putida</i> contain a double bond between carbon five and six, which is experimentally confirmed via olefin cross metathesis. Utilizing the...
