Domino-Redox Reaction Induced by an Electrochemically Triggered Conformational Change.
Angewandte Chemie(2023)
摘要
The concept of a domino‐type reaction has been applied in a wide range of fields such as synthetic organic chemistry, material engineering, and life science. To extend the domino concept to redox chemistry, we designed and synthesized a dimeric quinodimethane (QD) with a nonplanar dithiin spacer. The domino‐redox properties can be activated by raising the temperature, based on a thermally equilibrated twisted conformation of QD, which has a higher HOMO level that is more readily oxidized. After one QD unit is oxidized (trigger), steric repulsion and electronic interaction between electrophores make the neighboring QD unit adopt a twisted conformation (domino process), which facilitates the following oxidation. Thus, a domino‐redox reaction was achieved for the first time by a change in the HOMO level due to a drastic change in the molecular conformation.
