Stable ethers are successfully transformed into secondary alcohols via C-O bond activation using a simple cobalt pincer catalyst. Mechanistic studies indicate the involvement of radical pairs, and their sequential recombination and the subsequent hydrolysis results in the formation of secondary alcohols.
