Visible-light-induced bromoetherification of alkenols for the synthesis of β-bromotetrahydrofurans and -tetrahydropyrans

A visible-light-induced photoredox-catalyzed bromoetherification of alkenols is described. This approach, with CBr4 as the bromine source through generation of bromine in situ, provides a mild and operationally simple access to the synthesis of β-bromotetrahydrofurans and -tetrahydropyrans with high...
