Here, we report the selective, catalytic isomerization of <i>cis</i>-1,2-diols to <i>trans</i>-diequatorial-1,2-diols. The method employs triphenylsilanethiol (Ph<sub>3</sub>SiSH) as a catalyst and proceeds under mild conditions in the presence of a photoredox catalyst and under blue light irradiation. The method is highly chemoselective, broadly functional group tolerant and provides concise access to <i>trans</i>-diol products which are not readily obtained using other methods. Mechanistic stu ...[more]
