Highly chemoselective Baeyer–Villiger oxidations can be performed in the presence of other reactive functionalities such as alcohols, olefins, and sulfides, which would undergo electrophilic oxidation under conventional conditions (see scheme). [DMRFlEt]+[ClO4]− (depicted blue) is a new class of flavin compound that catalyzes aerobic Baeyer–Villiger oxidations in the presence of Zn dust as the electron source.
