Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover shows the stereo and regio selective addition of radical species such as alkyl or formamidyl radicals to levoglucosenone. Levoglucosenone is a biobased platform chemical obtained from celluloses. The radical intermediates are generated by hydrogen atom transfer involving photocatalysis with tetra‐ n ‐butylammonium decatungstate (TBADT). Cover picture created with the help of Tony Leclet.
