title: Photocatalyzed site-selective C-H to C-C conversion of aliphatic nitriles.
abstract: β- or γ-Site-selective C-H alkylation of aliphatic nitriles has been achieved using a decatungstate salt as the photocatalyst. The observed site selectivity was justified by a radical polar effect in transition states for hydrogen abstraction.
