Metal-free alcohol-directed regioselective heteroarylation of remote unactivated C(sp3)–H bonds

Direct remote C–H functionalization of aliphatic alcohols via alkoxy radicals is largely unexplored. Here, the authors report the C(sp3)-heteroaryl bond formation in aliphatic alcohols mediated by alkoxy radicals formed with a hypervalent iodine reagent.
