in high to quantitative yields via the 1,5-CH insertion reaction of generated magnesium carbenoid intermediates. When this procedure was commenced with acyclic ketones, multi-substituted tetrahydrofurans were obtained in up to a 96% yield. This procedure provides a new and good way for the synthesis of 1-oxaspiro[4.n]alkanes and tetrahydrofurans with the formation of a carbon–carbon bond between a carbenoid
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
