Abstract

Abstract : The traditional industrial synthesis of polycaprolactone monomers (caprolactone or 6‐hydroxyhexanoic acid) from cyclohexane is a multi‐step process associated with severe environmental issues such as toxic waste generation and high energy consumption. The implementation of a 4‐step enzymatic cascade in P. taiwanensis VLB120 allows the one‐pot conversion of cyclohexane to 6‐hydroxyhexanoic acid without byproducts and under environmentally benign conditions. This is reported by Lisa Schäfer, Katja Bühler, Rohan Karande, and Bruno Bühler in article 2000091 .
