Organometallic allylic reagents are widely used in the construction of C?C bonds by Barbier-type reactions. In this communication, we have described a photoredox Barbier allylation of aldehydes mediated by bismuth, in absence of other metals as co-reductants. Mild reaction conditions, tolerance of oxygen, and use of aqueous solvent make this photoredox methodology attractive for green and sustainable synthesis of homoallylic alcohols.

Tetrahydrofurans (THFs) and tetrahydropyrans (THPs) are important core scaffolds frequently found in many molecules of medicinal importance. Herein, we report a novel copper-catalyzed hydroxycyclopropanol ring-opening cyclization methodology to synthesize di- or tri-substituted THFs and THPs. In this reaction, a strained C-C bond was cleaved and a new Csp3-O bond was formed to produce the aforementioned O-heterocycles. The new THF synthesis features a broad substrate scope, scalability, and good functional-group tolerability. It enabled us to complete the shortest enantioselective syntheses of hyperiones A and B (3 and 4 steps, respectively), which is significantly shorter than the previously reported two total syntheses (≥10 steps).

The concept of "umpolung"reactivity of π-allylmetal complexes has been developed as a powerful method for the allylation of aldehydes. This paper describes the photocatalytic umpolung strategy for the synthesis of nucleophilic allylcobalt complexes through a single-electron-transfer (SET) process. This strategy enables the metallaphotoredox allylation of carbonyls with allyl acetate using organic N,N-diisopropylethylamine as the terminal reductant bypassing the use of a stoichiometric amount of metals. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy was used to monitor the redox changes of cobalt in the reaction.
