Article Abstract

A strain release cycloaddition has been developed that exploits intermediate azirines formed via irradiation with blue LEDs. Subsequent cycloaddition with pyrones afforded novel aza-heterocycles (13 examples, 42%→66% yields). A variety of substituents were tolerated. Computational analysis suggests a kinetically favored -[4 + 2]cycloaddition that occurs from the least sterically encumbered face of the azirine. Distortion/interaction analysis suggests that the energetic penalty associated with azirine deformation is the primary factor contributing to the observed selectivity.

Background: A modified pull-through approach represents a promising treatment strategy to access tumors in the posterior oral cavity. The design of the wedge osteotomy plays a key role in preserving postoperative mechanical stability while enabling surgical access. However, the optimal osteotomy design to reduce fracture risk remains unclear.

Smart hydrogels have advanced rapidly in recent years. However, systems responsive to a single stimulus are typically triggered by specific cues, limiting their adaptability in complex and dynamic biological environments. To overcome this limitation, this study developed a dual-responsive hydrogel sensitive to both temperature and mechanical stress.
