Excitation of vibrations that participate in the reaction coordinate are believed to accelerate an otherwise thermally driven chemical reaction. Here, we demonstrate the acceleration the thermal driven chemical reaction between cyclohexanol and phenylisocyanate in THF. Upon excitation of the OH-stretching vibration of CH-ol we track bleaching signals of PHI and the urethane product band in real-time. Additionally, we determined reaction rate changes upon selective vibrational excitation with negligible heating of the sample and observed an increase of the reaction rate up to 24%. We utilized reaction acceleration between toluene-2,4-diisocyanate and 2,2,2-trichloroethane-1,1-diol to write a polyurethane square on the sample windows by femtosecond IR pulses.
