Directed synthesis of high-efficiency visible photoinduced Baeyer-Villiger oxidation catalysts is of primary significance. Here, the isopolymolybdate anion [β-MoO] is for the first time encapsulated with the photosensitive metalloligand [Ru(bpy)(Hdcbpy)] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; Hdcbpy = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) to synthesize polyoxometalate@metal-organic frameworks, {(CdDMF)[Ru(bpy)(dcbpy)]([β-MoO])}·5DMF (Ru-Mo). The composite photocatalyst Ru-Mo not only has a light absorption of 700 nm but also shortens the photogenerated electron transfer distances and accelerates charge and proton transfer. Ru-Mo can perform the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation with high selectivity and up to 96.7% yield under visible light (λ > 400 nm) irradiation. The turnover number and turnover frequency of the reaction were computed to be 967 and 548 h, respectively, and the apparent quantum yield was 6.84% by 425 nm. Simultaneously, the radical mechanism of Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of Ru-Mo in the O/benzaldehyde system under visible light (λ > 400 nm) irradiation was proposed.

Cyanobacteria are emerging as a promising platform for whole-cell biotransformation, harnessing solar energy to drive biocatalytic reactions through recombinant enzymes. However, optimisation remains challenging due to the complexity of the cyanobacterial metabolism and the regulatory framework in which heterologous enzymes operate. While many enzymes have been deployed for light-driven whole-cell biotransformations, the different experimental conditions used between studies make direct comparison and systematic improvement difficult.

Petroleum-contaminated terrestrial ecosystems require effective bioremediation strategies. In this study, genomic analysis revealed key biodegradation genes on the 21# chromosome: alkane hydroxylases (, , ) and aromatic ortho-cleavage pathway genes (). Phylogenetic and multiple sequence alignment analyses of the gene in strain 21# revealed the presence of signature motifs characteristic of Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials known for their exceptional properties, such as a high surface area, porosity, customizable organic linkers, and metal nodes. These characteristics make them ideal candidates for various applications, including gas storages, catalysis, CO capture, drug delivery, and so on. This review focuses on the use of MOFs as heterogeneous catalysts in oxidation reaction, a vital reaction in organic chemistry for industries like pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals.

The synthesis of functionalized cubanols has been developed via a 2-step protocol comprising of a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cubyl ketones, followed by acid hydrolysis. As part of this study, we determine the relative migratory aptitude of cubyl groups in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and rationalize these experimental findings with computational studies.

The selective oxygenation of organic compounds via Baeyer-Villiger (B-V) oxidation is crucial for producing value-added chemicals. Although biomimetic catalysts inspired by Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO) and employing a flavin cofactor have shown promise, their effectiveness has been limited by the difficulty in replicating enzymatic active sites, particularly for producing versatile lactones with low ring strain (e.g.
