The bio-hybrid fuel 4,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane can be produced from glucose via 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO), however, the separation of microbially produced 2,3-BDO remains costly. Here, the authors develop an alternative process route to 4,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane via the enzymatic production of 2,3-BDO.
