Abstract

We investigated the use of mechanical stress to bend carbon-carbon triple bonds. Formation of an isoquinoline after reaction with a benzyl azide trap points towards a nucleophilic addition mechanism, differentiating mechanochemical trans-bending of π bonds from the typical reactivity observed for cisoidal bending of triple bonds in strained cyclic alkynes.
