Substituted pyrans and furans are core structures found in a wide variety of natural products and biologically active compounds. Herein, we report a practical and mild catalytic method for the synthesis of substituted pyrans and furans using molecular iodine, a simple and inexpensive catalyst. The method described is performed under solvent-free conditions at an ambient temperature and atmosphere, thus offering a facile and practical alternative to currently available reaction protocols. A combination of experimental studies and density functional theory calculations revealed interesting mechanistic insights into this seemingly simple reaction.

Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are prevalent in both naturally and synthetically bioactive molecules. We report herein an unprecedented protocol for radical aza-cyclization of α-imino-oxy acids with pendant alkenes via synergistic photoredox and cobaloxime catalysis. With or without alkenes as the intermolecular cross-coupling partners, the transformation provides a variety of corresponding alkene-containing dihydropyrrole products in satisfactory yields. In the presence of external alkenes, the tandem reaction generates E-selective coupling products with excellent chemo- and stereoselectivity.
