Cerium(IV)-Mediated Synthesis of Tetrahydrofuranyl Ethers
Maione, Anna M.,Romeo, A.
, p. 250 - 251 (1987)
The reaction of tetrahydrofuran with an alcohol in the presence of ceric triethylammonium nitrate provides a convenient and general procedure for protecting the hydroxyl function.Tetrahydrofuranyl ethers of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols were obtained in good yields.

Radical chain reduction of alkylboron compounds with catechols
Villa, Giorgio,Povie, Guillaume,Renaud, Philippe
supporting information; experimental part, p. 5913 - 5920 (2011/06/16)
The conversion of alkylboranes to the corresponding alkanes is classically per-formed via protonolysis of alkylboranes. This simple reaction requires the use of severe reaction conditions, that is, treatment with a carboxylic acid at high temperature (>150 °C). We report here a mild radical procedure for the transformation of organoboranes to alkanes. 4-tert-Butylcatechol, a well-established radical inhibitor and antioxidant, is acting as a source of hydrogen atoms. An efficient chain reaction is observed due to the exceptional reactivity of phenoxyl radicals toward alkylboranes. The reaction has been applied to a wide range of organoboron derivatives such as B- alkylcatecholboranes, trialkylboranes, pinacolboronates, and alkylboronic acids. Furthermore, the so far elusive rate constants for the hydrogen transfer between secondary alkyl radical and catechol derivatives have been experimentally determined. Interestingly, they are less than 1 order of magnitude slower than that of tin hydride at 80 °C, making catechols particularly attractive for a wide range of transformations involving C-C bond formation.
Phosphine effects in the copper(I) hydride-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones and regioselective 1,2-reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes. Hydrogenation of decalin and steroidal ketones and enones

The stereoselectivity and regioselectivity of the catalytic hydrogenation of ketones and α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes using soluble copper(I) hydride catalysts have been investigated as a function of the ancillary phosphine ligand. While a relatively narrow range of aryldialkylphosphine ligands produce active hydrogenation catalysts, some ligands provide higher selectivity for 1,2-reduction of acyclic unsaturated carbonyl substrates than observed using the previously reported dimethylphenylphosphine-stabilized catalyst. The synthetic utility of this class of hydridic hydrogenation catalysts is illustrated by the hydrogenation of decalin and steroidal ketones and enones, the latter giving allylic alcohols with high selectivity.
