Abstract

Ethers are widely used in organic chemistry, materials science, biomedicine and other fields due to their excellent physicochemical properties. Among them, tetrahydrofuran/tetrahydrothiophene and their derivatives are the core backbones for building biologically active molecules and complex natural products. In recent years, photo/electrocatalysis has gradually become an important tool for chemists to synthesize novel compounds due to its compliance with the requirements of green chemistry and the unique pathway that mostly involves radical intermediates. The functionalization of α-positions of ethers using photo/electrocatalysis is a green and efficient synthetic strategy. Therefore, the research progress of photo/electro- catalytic functionalization of ether compounds at the α-position is reviewed with ether/sulfide as examples, and a detailed description of some of the mechanisms is provided.
