Valorization of tannery-derived FAMEs into bio-based epoxides via chemo-enzymatic synthesis

The urgent transition toward low-carbon chemical manufacturing has prompted the development of renewable alternatives to fossil-based epoxy intermediates. This study presents an integrated and resource-efficient chemo-enzymatic route for the synthesis of epoxidized methyl oleate (EMO) from fatty aci...
