Efficient transformation of lignin-derived syringaldehyde to syringyl acetate via tandem catalysis with alcohol dehydrogenase and lipase.

Efficient valorization of lignin-derived aromatics remains a key challenge in sustainable chemistry. Biobased aromatic alcohols and esters are important value-added compounds widely used in fragrances, pharmaceutical intermediates, fine chemicals, and functional materials. In this study, a whole-cell biocatalytic syste...
