Control of selectivity is one the central topics in organic chemistry. Although unprecedented alkoxyl-radical-induced transformations have drawn a lot attention, compared to selective C-H activation, radical O-H activation remains less explored. Herein, we report novel strategy diols by combining spatial effects with proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). It was found that DMSO an essential reagent enables regioselective transformation diols. Mechanistic studies indicated existence alkoxyl...
