The copper-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of unactivated alkenes for the synthesis of tetrahydrofurans, phthalans, isochromans, and morpholines from 4- and 5-alkenols is reported. The substrate scope is complementary to existing enantioselective alkene hydroalkoxylations and is broad with respect to substrate backbone and alkene substitution. The asymmetric induction and isotopic labeling studies support a polar/radical mechanism involving enantioselective oxycupration followed by C-[Cu] homolysis and hydrogen atom transfer. Synthesis of the antifungal insecticide furametpyr was accomplished.
