Photocatalytic reductive formation of α-tertiary ethers from ketals

A general photocatalytic reductive strategy for the construction of unsymmetrical α-tertiary dialkyl ethers is reported. By merging Lewis acid-mediated ketal activation and visible-light photocatalytic reduction, in situ-generated α-alkoxy radicals were found to engage in addition reactions with a v...
