A simple and efficient process to cyclize triols containing a 1,2-diol functionality with a pendant hydroxyl group is presented. The one-pot procedure converts the 1,2-diol into an ortho ester in situ, which upon treatment with a Lewis acid generates a cyclic acetoxonium intermediate. This intermediate is subsequently trapped by the pendant hydroxyl group to generate a cyclic ether. The stereochemistry

We have developed a strategy to transform olefins into homoallylic nitriles through a mechanism that combines copper catalysis with alkyl nitrile radicals. The radicals are easily generated from alkyl nitriles in the presence of the mild oxidant di‐tert‐butyl peroxide. This cross‐dehydrogenative coupling between simple olefins and alkylnitriles bears advantages over the conventional use of halides

A palladium-catalyzed, syn-selective aminoalkynylation of mono-, di- and trisubstituted olefins to afford pyrrolidines is developed. The combination of iodoalkynes and a picolinamide as nucleophile is shown to be essential for the observed reactivity. Furthermore, the picolinamide enables the rapid synthesis of cyclization substrates through a C−H activation approach.
