Abstract
We report a vinyl radical-mediated 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT) strategy for the remote C(sp3)-H functionalization reaction, which includes cyanation, oxidation, and etherification under visible-light-induced photochemical conditions. This reaction is achieved using readily available alkyl N-hydroxyphthalimide esters as radical precursors, which can efficiently react with diverse alkynes to form key vinyl radical intermediates followed by a 1,5-HAT process. A series of structurally diverse γ-cyano, γ-carbonyl, and γ-oxygenated alkenes with excellent stereoselectivity can be efficiently constructed by this synthetic protocol.

Abstract
Acyclic α-tertiary ethers represent a highly prevalent functionality, common to high-value bioactive molecules, such as pharmaceuticals and natural products, and feature as crucial synthetic handles in their construction. As such their synthesis has become an ever-more important goal in synthetic chemistry as the drawbacks of traditional strong base- and acid-mediated etherifications have become more limiting. In recent years, the generation of highly reactive intermediates via redox approaches has facilitated the synthesis of highly sterically-encumbered ethers and accordingly these strategies have been widely applied in α-tertiary ether synthesis. This review summarises and appraises the state-of-the-art in the application of redox strategies enabling acyclic α-tertiary ether synthesis.
