What is life without oxygen is a rhetorical question. On the other hand, unraveling the
intricacies and understanding the various mechanisms underpinning the biological …

During the last decades a large number of flavin-dependent monooxygenases have been
isolated and studied. This has revealed that flavoprotein monooxygenases are able to …

During the recent past years, tremendous efforts have been made to establish
enantioselective routes for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds due to their …

Hui Lv, Wen-Qiang Jia, Li-Hui Sun, and Song Ye* e-Lactones are privileged motifs occurring
in a wide variety of biologically active natural and unnatural products.[1] Therefore, the …

Abstract Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) represent a specific class of
monooxygenases that are capable of catalyzing a variety of oxidation reactions, including …

Biocatalysis (based on either enzymes or whole microorganisms) has matured to a standard
technology in the finechemicals industry, as reflected in the number of biotransformation …

Abstract Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) are a very well-known and intensively
studied class of flavin-dependent enzymes. Their substrate promiscuity, high chemo-, regio …

Over the past few years, industrial interest in biocatalysts that perform selective oxidative
reactions has increased significantly.[1] Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) have …

Cyclobutanones hold a privileged role in enantioselective desymmetrization because their
inherent ring strain allows for a variety of unusual reactions to occur. Current strategies …

Oxygenation reactions of ketones to esters are referred to as Baeyer-Villiger oxidations and
represent a powerful methodology in synthesis to break carbon-carbon bonds in an oxygen …
