The present invention provides a method for synthesizing an oxyfunctionalized product. The method includes incubating an enzyme substrate with an enzyme capable of hydroxylating one terminal carbon of the enzyme substrate to form a hydroxylated product and converting at least a portion of the hydroxylated product to the oxyfunctionalized product. The enzyme substrate is an unsaturated or saturated carboxylic acid or an ester thereof, and the hydroxylated product can be a terminal hydroxy-substituted unsaturated carboxylic acid or an ester thereof. The oxy-functionalized products include insect pheromones and other useful compounds.
