Introducing alkyl groups, particularly through innovative C(sp 2 )−C(sp 3 ) bond-forming methods utilizing abundant feedstocks, holds promise for expanding chemical space, especially in drug discovery programs. Herein, we employed biomass-derived abundant phenols and unactivated aliphatic alcohols as the coupling partners for C(sp 2 )−C(sp 3 ) crosselectrophile coupling reactions. Our innovation involved activating both the coupling partner via the same activator and designing a catalytic system that activates stronger bonds while ensuring crossselectivity. The visible-light photoredox/nickel dual catalytic systems accommodate a large substrate scope tolerating diverse functional groups. Besides, both the activation and cross-coupling reactions could be performed in one pot, and the reaction could be scaled up. The method was also executed for iterative crosscoupling and applied for the late-stage functionalization of drug molecules, highlighting their synthetic applicability. Preliminary mechanistic studies involving luminescence quenching, cyclic voltammetry, radical quenching, and radical clock studies elucidated the proposed reaction mechanism.
