Researchers at the University of Cambridge have created a new technique that uses light instead of toxic chemicals to change complex drug molecules. The discovery could speed up drug development and make the process of designing medicines more efficient.

The study, published on March 12 in Nature Synthesis, introduces what the team calls an "anti-Friedel-Crafts" reaction. Traditional Friedel-Crafts chemistry requires powerful chemicals or metal cataly...
