Abstract

Taking advantage of the unique properties of two-component flavo-monooxygenases and the ability of [Cp*Ir(bpy-OMe)H] to transfer hydrides to reduce flavins, we extended the scope of the pH- and oxygen-robust iridium(iii)-complex to drive the enzymatic reaction of a FMN-dependent Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase and a FAD-dependent styrene monooxygenase (respectively FPMO Group C and E), using formic acid as H-donor for NADH recycling.
