A general route to substituted cyclic ethers has been described by using nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagents to lactones in the presence of CeCl3 followed by the Lewis acid-induced deoxygenation of the corresponding hemiketals with Et3SiH. Stereoselective reduction of the 5-membered adducts to the disubstituted tetrahydrofurans has been also investigated.

We report a catalytic, light‐driven method for the intramolecular hydroetherification of unactivated alkenols to furnish cyclic ether products. These reactions occur under visible‐light irradiation in the presence of an IrIII‐based photoredox catalyst, a Brønsted base catalyst, and a hydrogen‐atom transfer (HAT) co‐catalyst. Reactive alkoxy radicals are proposed as key intermediates, generated by direct
我们报告了一种催化光驱动方法,用于未活化烯醇的分子内加氢醚化以提供环醚产品。这些反应在 Ir III基光氧化还原催化剂、布朗斯台德碱催化剂和氢原子转移 (HAT) 助催化剂存在下在可见光照射下发生。反应性烷氧基被认为是关键中间体,是通过质子耦合电子转移机制直接均裂激活醇 O−H 键而产生的。该方法表现出广泛的底物范围和高官能团耐受性,并且适应多种烯烃取代模式。还提出了证明该催化系统扩展到碳醚化反应的结果。
