  Scientific journal, ABSTRACT
  
  Catalytic enantioselective synthesis of structurally diverse 3D molecules remains a central challenge in organic chemistry. Intermolecular chemodivergent parallel kinetic resolution (PKR) of racemic substrates through C─C bond formation using a single catalyst to yield distinct products is rare. Here, we report Rh‐catalyzed chemodivergent PKR of racemic 1,6‐enynes with α‐fluoroacrylamides or mixtures of different acrylamides, proceeding via [2+2+2] cycloaddition and C–H alkylation to afford structurally and stereochemically distinct products with high selectivity under mild conditions. Additionally, substituent‐dependent enantioselective desymmetrization of symmetric dienynes was achieved. Computational studies revealed that, depending on the stereochemistry of the 1,6‐enyne, steric repulsion between the ligand and the enyne favors a compact C–H activation transition state, whereas its absence favors a C═C insertion transition state involving a smaller bond dissociation energy. These findings establish a versatile catalytic platform for the selective generation of 3D molecular complexity, advancing diversity‐oriented synthesis from racemic or symmetric precursors.

  Chemical science, 10 Jul. 2025, [Peer-reviewed], [International Magazine]
  English, Scientific journal, Mechanophores are force-sensitive compounds that undergo chemical reactions under force stimuli. The design and discovery of efficient yet thermally stable mechanophores are crucial for developing self-strengthening materials. However, conventional mechanophores are often chemically unstable due to the presence of highly strained rings or weak covalent bonds, making the material sensitive to the change of temperature or UV irradiation. In this study, a comprehensive computational exploration was conducted to discover thermally stable, unconventional mechanophores for self-strengthening materials based on mechanoradical polymerisation. Notably, the computational procedure presented here serves as a general strategy for designing mechanophores intended for various applications. First, a conformational motif called a "node" along the force transduction direction was identified, significantly enhancing the force effect. Molecules with bridged rings emerged as ideal candidates for possessing a "node," as the bridged structure helps to fix the key dihedral angle. Simulations predicted that polymers containing camphanediol and pinanediol could readily undergo C-C bond homolysis under force. Subsequently, automated reaction path exploration revealed the fate of the mechanoradicals and suggested that camphanediol could generate long-lived radicals, a crucial feature for self-strengthening materials. Following these computational predictions, we successfully prepared double-network hydrogels containing the camphanediol moiety. Careful experiments were then performed to quantify the concentration of mechanoradicals, and enhanced self-strengthening performance was demonstrated through loading-unloading tests.

  English, Scientific journal, Silylboranes are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis, and a wide range of structural variants of silylboranes have already been synthesized. However, the stability of silylboranes varies significantly, and their decomposition mechanism remains to be fully understood. Moreover, some silylborane motifs have not yet been applied as synthetic reagents due to their instability. To address this issue, we first investigated the decomposition mechanism of silylboranes in air and moisture using experimental and theoretical methods. We discovered that oxygenation by atmospheric oxygen is the major decomposition pathway, resulting in the formation of a borylsilylether, and that the introduction of a bulky silyl group suppresses this decomposition. Based on these results, we synthesized triisopropylsilyldimesitylborane (i-Pr3Si-BMes2), which exhibits high bench stability. Moreover, i-Pr3Si-BMes2 reacts with carbon monoxide (CO), which is the first example of a reaction between a silylborane and CO. Further computational studies revealed that electronic effects, including hyperconjugation between the Si─B σ-bond and C─O π*-bond, are crucial for CO activation. Furthermore, we prepared a bench-stable bissilylaminoborane by introducing triisopropylsilyl groups, providing a bissilylchloroborane upon hydrogen chloride treatment. These findings provide valuable insights into how steric and electronic effects can be used to optimize the balance between stability and reactivity in silylboranes.

• Theory-driven Discovery of Thermally Stable Mechanophore for Self-strengthening Materials

  American Chemical Society (ACS), 13 Nov. 2024
  Mechanophores that readily undergo bond cleavage upon mechanical stimuli normally contain a highly strained ring or reactive unit with weak bonds, which are usually thermally unstable. Here, we propose a general theory-driven procedure for selecting thermally stable radical-type mechanophore which can be used in self-strengthening materials. First, following our previous work, it is confirmed that a conformational motif called “node” along the force transduction direction enhances the force effect by generating a severe distortion on the breaking covalent bond. Molecules possessing bridged rings are ideal candidates to have a “node”, as the bridged structure helps to fix the key dihedral angle. Our computational exploration then focused on camphanediol and pinanediol, which do not have highly strained ring or intrinsically weak covalent bond, but a node ensured by a small dihedral angle. Our simulations predicted that polymer chains including these molecular skeletons easily undergo a C−C bond homolysis under relatively low tensile force and efficiently generate mechanoradicals. Subsequently, our automated reaction path exploration calculations unveiled the fate of the mechanoradicals by enumerating their possible reaction channels, and suggested that camphanediol can generate long-lived radicals, which can be utilized to develop self-strengthening materials. Therefore, we prepared double-network (DN) hydrogels containing camphanediol moiety and found that these novel DN hydrogels do have a good self-strengthening performance. Moreover, thanks to the present design guideline not assuming strained rings or weak bonds, such a camphanediol-containing DN hydrogel showed a good thermal and UV stability.

• In Situ and Real-Time Visualization of Mechanochemical Damage in Double-Network Hydrogels by Prefluorescent Probe via Oxygen-Relayed Radical Trapping.

  English, Scientific journal, Visualization of mechanochemical damages, especially for those in the molecular-scale (e.g., bond scission in polymeric materials), is of great industrial and academic significance. Herein, we report a novel strategy for in situ and real-time visualization of mechanochemical damages in hydrogels by utilizing prefluorescent probes via oxygen-relayed free-radical trapping. Double-network (DN) hydrogels that generate numerous mechanoradicals by homolytic bond scission of the brittle first network at large deformation are used as model materials. Theoretical calculation suggests that mechanoradicals generated by the damage of the first network undergo an oxygen-relayed radical-transfer process which can be detected by the prefluorescent probe through the radical-radical coupling reaction. Such an oxygen-relayed radical-trapping process of the prefluorescent probe exhibits a dramatically enhanced emission, which enables the real-time sensing and visualization of mechanochemical damages in DN hydrogels made from brittle networks of varied chemical structures. To the best of authors' knowledge, this work is the first report utilizing oxygen as a radical-relaying molecule for visualizing mechanoradical damages in polymer materials. Moreover, this new method based on the probe post-loading is simple and does not introduce any chemical structural changes in the materials, outperforming most previous methods that require chemical incorporation of mechanophores into polymer networks.
• Computational Exploration of Polymer Mechanochemistry: Quantitation of Activation Force and Systematic Discovery of Reaction Sites Utilizing Two Forces

  American Chemical Society (ACS), 23 Nov. 2022
  A series of mechanophores were studied computationally by employing the AFIR (Artificial Force Induced Reaction) method, which applies an artificial force on the molecule to trigger reactions, and meanwhile with a tensile force to simulate a mechanochemical reaction. The calculation results were both qualitatively and quantitatively consistent to those reported experimentally, indicating that the AFIR is a reliable approach to studying mechanochemical reactions. It was then applied to the study of retro-Diels-Alder reactions for the theoretical predictions of activation force levels which are currently unavailable. Moreover, it also helped to reveal the favored geometry for the enhancement of force effect. Later, the AFIR method was employed to study the mechanodegradation of generic polymers. The substituents effect and the polymer tacticity in strengthening the mechanical responsiveness, were highlighted by our study. Given the importance of cross-linker molecules in the double-network (DN) hydrogels, a fully automatic search of mechanochemical transformation pathways of a commonly used cross-linker molecule, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA), was also performed by the AFIR method. Through the work described in this article, we demonstrated that, in the field of polymer mechanochemistry, the AFIR method utilizing two forces is a simple but effective tool to give accurate predictions of activation force levels at any given timescale. In the meantime, the mechanistic study of mechanochemical reactions shown in this article is believed to provide insightful suggestions for the further design and application of mechanophores.

  Scientific journal, Since the discovery of Grignard reagents in 1900, the nucleophilic addition of magnesium-based carbon nucleophiles to various electrophiles has become one of the most powerful, versatile, and well-established methods for the formation of carbon−carbon bonds in organic synthesis. Grignard reagents are typically prepared via reactions between organic halides and magnesium metal in a solvent. However, this method usually requires the use of dry organic solvents, long reaction times, strict control of the reaction temperature, and inert-gas-line techniques. Despite the utility of Grignard reagents, these requirements still represent major drawbacks from both an environmental and an economic perspective, and often cause reproducibility problems. Here, we report the general mechanochemical synthesis of magnesium-based carbon nucleophiles (Grignard reagents in paste form) in air using a ball milling technique. These nucleophiles can be used directly for one-pot nucleophilic addition reactions with various electrophiles and nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions under solvent-free conditions.
