title: Flavin-catalyzed insertion of oxygen into rhenium-methyl bonds.
abstract: 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.
