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.

(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.
