A photo enzymatic cascade reaction to transform unsaturated fatty acids into secondary fatty alcohols, and in particular into enantiomerically pure secondary fatty alcohols is disclosed. In a first hydroxyl introduction stage the unsaturated fatty acid is hydrated and/or hydroxylated with a first enzyme to provide a fatty hydroxy acid. The second stage comprises decarboxylation of the intermediate hydroxyacid by a photoactivated decarboxylase. A broad range of (poly)unsaturated fatty acids can be transformed into enantiomerically pure fatty alcohols in a simple one-pot two-step approach.
