contents In the decays of $η_c\toγγ$ and $J/ψ\toγη_c$, there are discrepancies between the theoretical calculations and the PDG experimental values, referred to as the charmonium QCD puzzle. We observe the decay $η_c\toγγ$ in $J/ψ\toγη_c$ using $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times10^{6}$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, and determine the product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\toγη_c)\times\mathcal{B}(η_c\toγγ)=(5.23\pm0.26_{\rm{stat.}}\pm0.30_{\rm{syst.}})\times10^{-6}$. This measurement is consistent with the two most recent lattice QCD calculations, providing significant input toward resolving the charmonium QCD puzzle.
