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 Br?nsted base catalyst, and a hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) co-catalyst. Reactive alkoxy radicals are proposed as key intermediates, generated by direct homolytic activation of alcohol O?H bonds through a proton-coupled electron-transfer mechanism. This method exhibits a broad substrate scope and high functional-group tolerance, and it accommodates a diverse range of alkene substitution patterns. Results demonstrating the extension of this catalytic system to carboetherification reactions are also presented.
Chiral Selenide-Catalyzed Enantioselective Construction of Saturated Trifluoromethylthiolated Azaheterocycles

An indane-based, bifunctional, chiral selenide catalyst has been developed. The new catalyst is efficient for the enantioselective synthesis of saturated azaheterocycles possessing a trifluoromethylthio group. The desired products were obtained in good yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.
Remote control of regio- and diastereoselectivity in the hydroformylation of bishomoallylic alcohols with catalytic amounts of a reversibly bound directing group

(Figure Presented) Remote and reversible! Phosphinites serve as reversibly bound directing groups for the remote control of the regio- and diastereoselective hydroformylation of bishomoallylic alcohols (see scheme; r.r: regioisomer ratio). The distance between the double bond and the functional hydroxy group to which the directing group is reversibly bound is the longest ever reported.
