Cross-pinacol coupling of two different carbonyl compounds was achieved through successive one-electron transfer processes under photocatalytic conditions. In the reaction, an umpoled anionic carbinol synthon generated in situ to react nucleophilically with a second electrophilic compound. It revealed that CO2 additive promoted generation suppress undesired radical dimerization. A wide variety aromatic and aliphatic substrates underwent cross-pinacol afford corresponding unsymmetric vicinal 1,2-diols, which even combination reactants similar structures such as aldehydes ketones were also well tolerated high cross-coupling selectivity.
