integration of non‐native reactivity into metabolic pathways for small‐molecule production has been underexplored. Herein we report a biocompatible iron(III) phthalocyanine catalyst capable of efficient olefin cyclopropanation in the presence of a living microorganism. By interfacing this catalyst with E. coli engineered to produce styrene, we synthesized non‐natural phenyl cyclopropanes directly from D‐glucose
