24. The excess was mainly used to obtain better accuracy in the determination of the initial rate of the noncatalyzed reaction.
25. Furthermore, simple alkenes such as styrene did not oxidize under the reaction conditions.

27. Only partial decomposition of starting material (2-(phenylthio)-1,4-benzoquinone) could be detected by NMR.

31. The oxidation of thioethers can be looked upon as a borderline case, since for example the equilibrium between I, IV, and III can play a greater role depending on experimental conditions.
32. An alternative activation mechanism, even though less likely, where hydrogen peroxide electrophilically (!) attacks the flavin, can not be ruled out.
33. Murahashi and co-workers have previously discussed such possible equilibria, see ref. [2].
34. Murahashi used the perchlorate analogue of IVb as catalyst precursor.

40. The exact value was not determinable, since the melting point exceeded the max. temperature of the apparatus.

42. When using less catalyst/peroxide the reactions were followed up to 360 min with 30-60 min intervals after the first hour.
