Co-Catalyzed Radical Cycloaddition of [60]Fullerene with Active Dibromides: Selective Synthesis of Carbocycle-Fused Fullerene Monoadducts

Org. Lett., Article ASAP
Publication Date (Web): July 23, 2013 (Letter)
DOI: 10.1021/ol401876n

An efficient and highly selective Co-catalyzed radical cycloaddition of [60]fullerene with active dibromides for the synthesis of three-, five-, six-, and seven-membered carbocycle-fused fullerene monoadducts has been reported. The controlled experiments unambiguously disclosed that the reaction proceeds through the formation of a fullerene monoradical as a key intermediate.
