Temperature‐selective radical generation from a newly designed alkyl diiodide (I−R2−R1−I) was studied. R1−I and I−R2 had different reactivities for generating alkyl radicals in the presence of a tetraoctylammonium iodide (ONI) catalyst. Taking advantage of the temperature selectivity, we used the al...
