Only wasting water : A new transition‐metal‐catalyzed/Lewis acid mediated CC cross‐coupling reaction of various different alcohols (as green starting materials) has been realized (see scheme). A variety of functionalized alcohols could be straightforwardly synthesized in good to excellent yields through the selective activation of the sp 3 CH bond adjacent to the hydroxyl group of primary alcohols; furthermore, the only waste generated through the overall process is water.
