How would you change the chirality of a compound such that (S,R) becomes (S,S)? That is how would you synthesise a compound from its diastereomer?

    Can you make this question a bit more concrete? Both (S,R) and (S,S) forms of a molecule are diastereomers as they have more than one stereocenter. Beyond regioselective stereoinversion, this question doesn't really have a specific answer. – Richard Terrett Mar 26 '13 at 04:02
  • You mean you want me to add an example of particular significance to me? – Josh Pinto Mar 26 '13 at 05:14
  • @BrentonHorne - An example would be helpful. The methods of changing a chirality center's configuration vary significantly in ease and reagents by functional group. – Ben Norris Mar 26 '13 at 13:43
