1,4‐ and 1,5‐diols undergo cyclodehydration upon treatment with cationic N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)–IrIII complexes to give tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans, respectively. The mechanism was investigated, and a metal‐hydride‐driven pathway was proposed for all substrates, except for very electron‐rich ones. This contrasts with the well‐established classical pathways that involve nucleophilic

We report a new and efficient iron oxide catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between organometallic species such as alkyl/arylmagnesium halides or organolithium species and α-hydrogen bearing cyclic unbranched and branched aliphatic ethers via activation of C(sp3)–H. In the presence of 1 mol% of iron oxide, five and six membered unbranched cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran gave

A new approach to the preparation of tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans through a photoredox catalytic process is described. The introduction of a phenylsulfanyl auxiliary group permits the substrates to be readily oxidized to form cationicintermediates for sequential intramolecular cyclization. The method features mild reaction conditions and operational simplicity.
Here we disclose a general Co(II/III/IV) electrocatalytic platform for alkene functionalization. Driven by electricity, a set of the oxidative hydrofunctionalization reactions via hydrogen atom transfer were demonstrated without the need for stochiometric chemical oxidants. The scope of the reactions encompasses hydroalkoxylation, hydroacyloxylation, hydroarylation, semipinacol rearrangement, and deallylation
