DESCRIPTION

Also known as PAMO_THEFY, pamO. Catalyzes a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation reaction, i.e. the insertion of an oxygen atom into a carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl, which converts ketones to esters. Is most efficient with phenylacetone as substrate, leading to the formation of benzyl acetate. Can also oxidize other aromatic ketones (benzylacetone, alpha-methylphenylacetone and 4-hydroxyacetophenone), some aliphatic ketones (dodecan-2-one and bicyclohept-2-en-6-one) and sulfides (e.g. methyl 4-tolylsulfide). Monomer.
