A Lewis acid-mediated, 5/6/7/8- reductive hydroalkoxylation cascade on enynols gives expeditious, diastereoselective access to small and medium ring cyclic ethers with a long aliphatic side chain. The brevity of the approach allowed a 4-step, stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-isolaurepan and (±)--lauthisan.

Acid catalysed reductive etherification of -propargyl amino alcohols for the stereoselective synthesis of -2,5/2,6-disubstituted morpholines and -2,6/2,7-disubstituted oxazepanes has been developed. Mechanistic studies revealed that terminal alkynols gave morpholines a 6- hydroalkoxylation-isomerization-reduction cascade. Interestingly, an alkyne hydration-cyclization-reduction sequence is found to be involved in the formation of oxazepanes from alkyl substituted internal alkynols.

Lewis-acid-catalyzed 5 reductive hydroalkoxylation cascade on propargylic -hydroxylamine gave expedient, stereoselective access to isoxazolidine derivatives. The developed method provides a new approach toward the synthesis of isoxazolidine, a biologically privileged scaffold. The synthetic potential of the developed methodology was demonstrated by synthesizing 1,3-aminoalcohol, 4-aminotetrahydropyran, and sedamine natural products.

A visible-light-induced, intramolecular, reductive cyclisation of ketones with an unsaturated hydrocarbon moiety was developed. In contrast to conventional protocols requiring resource precious or hazardous metal sources, this method enables facile access to ketyl radicals under metal-free and mild reaction conditions. By polarity-reversed, ketyl radical hydroalkoxylation of alkynes and allenes, a variety of five-membered (hetero-)cyclic products were generated in good yields with good to excellent stereoselectivities.

Article Synopsis
  • This research showcases a method for Markovnikov hydroalkoxylation of unactivated alkenes using alcohols through a triple catalysis involving photoredox, cobalt, and Brønsted acid catalysts under visible light.
  • The process involves three main steps: generating Co(III) hydride, facilitating hydrogen atom transfer from the hydride to the alkene, and oxidizing the resulting alkyl Co(III) complex to alkyl Co(IV).
  • This innovative approach enables precise control of protons and electrons, eliminating the need for strong acids and other external agents typically required in traditional methods.
