title: Facile functionalization of a metal carbon bond by O-atom transfer.
abstract: The facile conversion of M-R to M-OR that could be useful for the functionalization of electron-rich metal alkyl intermediates is shown to proceed via a Baeyer-Villiger-type pathway involving a nonredox, electrophilic, O-atom insertion in reactions with non-peroxo O-donors.
