The mechanochemical activation of a pyrimidine dimer
Key Points
The research aims to explore the mechanochemical activation of a pyrimidine dimer and its isomers.
Utilized mechanochemical activation on a cyclobutane-based mechanophore.
Analyzed the reactivities of different pyrimidine isomers after photodimerization.
Demonstrated varying reactivities between the individual isomers of pyrimidine.
Showed distinct activation responses to mechanochemical stimuli.
