AI Article Synopsis
- Mechanical force can create unique chemical reactions and generate reactive intermediates that are hard to produce through other methods.
- The way mechanical force generates reactive species may be useful in both synthetic and materials chemistry.
- This study introduces a new mechanophore that produces a reactive aryne intermediate when a benzocyclobutene (BCB) core undergoes a force-driven retro [2 + 2] cycloaddition.
Article Abstract
Mechanical force is unique in promoting unusual reaction pathways and especially for the generation of reactive intermediates sometimes inaccessible to other forms of activation. The mechanochemical generation of reactive species could find application in synthetic and materials chemistry alike. However, the nature of these reactive intermediates has been mostly limited to radicals or carbenes. Here, we present a new mechanophore that generates a reactive aryne intermediate upon dissociation of a benzocyclobutene (BCB) core a force-promoted retro [2 + 2] cycloaddition.
