sulfoxidation reactions on a set of aromatic sulfides. With a few exceptions, excellent enantioselectivities in the synthesis of chiral phenyl and benzyl sulfoxides were achieved. The bacterial Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase was also shown to accept racemic sulfoxides, a prochiral diketone and an organoboron compound as substrates. This study demonstrates the great biocatalytic potential of this novel oxidative
