Dr. Kelly et al., MAPPING OF THE FUNCTIONAL ACTIVE-SITE OF BAEYER-VILLIGERASES BY SUBSTRATE ENGINEERING, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (7), 1995, pp. 729-730
An active sits model for enzyme catalysed Baeyer-Villiger reactions is
proposed and validated by transformation of the tricyclic ketone 6; B
aeyer-Villiger reactions (and Baeyer-Villigerases) are classified by t
he stereochemistry of the hydroxyperoxide intermediate.
