Abstract: | Stereochemical editing has recently risen to prominence, allowing the direct editing of organic molecules with stereocenter(s) to adjust their relative stereochemistry at a late-stage. Several seminal light-driven stereochemical editing reactions such as deracemization and epimerization have been successively developed. Recently, Wendlandt and co-workers reported a versatile photochemical epimerization of unactivated tertiary stereogenic centers to rapidly prepare the stereoisomers that were previously challenging to access. |
