Flavin-Catalyzed Insertion of Oxygen into Rhenium–Methyl Bonds

Flavins and related molecules catalyze organic Baeyer–Villiger reactions. Combined experimental and DFT studies indicate that these molecules also catalyze the insertion of oxygen into metal–carbon bonds through a Baeyer–Villiger-like transition state.
