Abstract

Abstract Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases are attractive “green” catalysts able to produce chiral esters or lactones starting from ketones. They can act as natural equivalents of peroxyacids that are the catalysts classically used in the organic synthesis reactions, consisting in the cleavage of C single bond
