However, their isolation from plants is resource intensive, and their synthetic preparation requires harsh operating conditions. Emerging efforts have focused the production of bio-aldehydes via enzymatic oxidation, reduction, or via de novo metabolic pathways. Here, we catalog the different ways to synthesize aldehydes with enzymatic and whole-cell systems. We further describe their one-pot conversion to dinitroalkanes via a novel 4-step hybrid enzymatic and organocatalytic reaction cascade.engCopyright of the original work is retained by the author.alcohol oxidasealdehydesbioproductionbiosynthesisdinitroalkanenitroalcoholText2022-10-01
