Here, a palladium-catalyzed functionalization of unactivated sp3 C-H bonds with internal alcohol nucleophiles is described. Directed by an oxime-masked alcohol, annulation chemoselectively occurs at the β position, leading to a range of aliphatic cyclic ethers with four- to seven-membered rings. Tethered primary, secondary, and tertiary free hydroxyl groups can all react to give the corresponding cyclized products. In addition, benzyl and silyl protected alcohols can also be directly coupled. An sp3 C-H activation/intramolecular SN2 pathway was proposed.

The first examples of the directed, boron-mediated aldol reaction between different ketones are presented. Transformation of a variety of ketones to their corresponding boron enolates with Chx2BCl/Et3N, followed by reaction with acceptor ketones in diethyl ether, and oxidation of the resultant boron aldolate (H2O2, MeOH/pH 7 buffer), provided the aldol addition products. The reaction was most facile when cyclic ketones were used, with the highest yields obtained for the reaction of boron enolates with cyclohexanone as the acceptor.
