Novel Aromatic Compounds


Novel Aromatic Compounds

The 14th International Symposium on Novel Aromatic Compounds (ISNA-14) was held 24–29 July 2011 in Eugene, Oregon, USA, on the campus of the University of Oregon. Over 250 participants from 21 countries were present, making this gathering the largest ISNA conference on North American soil. The scientific program consisted of the 2011 Nozoe Lecture presented by Peter Bäuerle (University of Ulm, Germany), 11 plenary lectures, 20 invited lectures, 29 contributed lectures, and 160 posters presented in two sessions. This IUPAC-sponsored symposium was organized by Michael M. Haley (University of Oregon) and Benjamin T. King (University of Nevada, Reno, USA).

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.
