Researchers in Prof. Alison Wendtland’s group have found a way to change tertiary carbon stereochemistries using a photochemical decatungstate-catalyzed radical reaction, reports Derek Lowe for Science. This is “a neat opportunity to generate new isomers of known compounds (natural products, of course but many more as well, including med-chem SAR compounds), giving you some instant and relatively painless chemical diversity,” writes Lowe.
