Abstract

Abstract : Reaction of [60]fullerene with β-substituted ethylamines under air conditions generated a series of scarce fulleropyrrolines with trisubstituted alkene functional groups in moderate yields. Abstract : The reaction of [60]fullerene with β-substituted ethylamines under air conditions afforded unexpected fulleropyrrolines with trisubstituted alkene functional groups in moderate yields. The conversion of β-substituted ethylamines to their corresponding aldehydes played a crucial role in the successful synthesis of fulleropyrrolines. Promoted by p -toluenesulfonic acid, the obtained fulleropyrroline could (1) be converted back to [60]fullerene in nearly quantitative yield and (2) further react with 1, 3-propanediol to generate fullerene-fused dioxepane.
