Oxygen? That's radical! A method for the direct synthesis of substituted alcohols, ketones, and diketones through a catalyst‐controlled highly chemoselective coupling and oxygenation of olefins has been developed. The method is simple and practical, can be switched by the selection of different catalysts, and employs molecular oxygen as both an oxidant and a reagent.
