We demonstrate an accurate prediction of the micromechanical behavior of a single chain of cyclopropanated polybutadiene, which is governed by rapid isomerization of the cyclopropane moieties at ~1.2 nN, from the force-rate correlation of this reaction measured in a small series of increasingly strained macrocycles. The data demonstrate that a single physical quantity, force, uniquely defines the dynamics across length scales from >100 to 1 nm and that strain imposed through molecular design and that imposed by micromanipulation techniques have equivalent effects on the kinetics of a chemical reaction. This represents a new method of screening potential monomers for applications in stress-responsive materials that could also facilitate atomistic interpretations of single-molecule force experiments.

Three potential precursors of trans-cyclonona-1,2,6-triene (1), namely the allene-dioxolan (7), the allene-oxathiolan (14), and the dichlorocyclopropane (16) have been prepared starting ultimately from cyclo-octa-1,5-diene.Treatment of these precursors with BunLi under conditions appropriate to each case gave 2,3-divinylcyclopentene in moderate to good yields.It is considered that trans-cyclonona-1,2,6-triene is formed as transient intermediate.
