Direct incorporation of molecular oxygen into organic substrates has recently attained widespread interest as a forwardlooking technology for mild and green molecular transformations.[1] One subject of great urgency is the development of organocatalytic methods.[2] These methods should facilitate new strategies that provide an alternative to the conventional unsustainable processes, which use oxygenated transitionmetal complexes.[3] A limited number of organocatalytic aerobic oxidations has been reported. These reactions involve a multistep radical-transfer process from O2 by using semistable organic radicals [4] and photoinduced electron-transfer systems.[5]A new method for organocatalytic aerobic oxidation of heteroatomic organic compounds [6] was recently developed by simulating the enzymatic function of microsomal FAD-containing monooxygenase.[7] As this new system includes the direct conversion of molecular oxygen into synthetic flavin hydroperoxides, which are highly reactive towards various organic substrates,[8, 9] the principle of the reaction should enable sustainable aerobic oxidation chemistry with high selectivity and controllability. As a variation on this system, we describe herein the first organocatalytic aerobic method of the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation, which exhibits rare and high chemoselectivity for this nucleophilic oxidation [Eq.(1)]. The Baeyer–Villiger oxidation is a special class of nucleophilic oxidative transformation that proceeds specifically with peroxides and peracids through noncatalytic [10] and
