Synthesis and Regiochemistry of [60]Fullerenyl 2-Methylmalonate Bisadducts and their Facile Electron-Accepting Properties
摘要:
A simple one-pot reaction using in situ chemically generated Na-naphthalenide as an electron reductant in the preferential generation of C-60(2-) is described. Trapping of C-60(2-) intermediate with 2 molar equiv of sterically hindered 2-bromo-2-methylmalonate ester afforded two singly bonded fullerenyl bis-adducts C-60[-CMe(CO2Et)(2)](2) in 35% and 7% yield, respectively. The regiochemistry of these two products was determined to be 1,4- and 1,16-bisadducts, respectively, by NMR, LCMS, and X-ray single crystal structural analysis. The minor 1,16-bisadduct 2 exhibits long wavelength absorption bands in the near-IR region and prominent electron-accepting characteristics as compared with those of the major 1,4-bisadduct and pristine C-60. As revealed by DFT calculation, we propose that the origin of these unusual characters of 2 arises from the moiety of [18 pi]-trannulene, in close resemblance to that oldie highly symmetrical emerald green 1,16,29,38,43,60-hexaadduct of C-60, EF-6MC(n). Accordingly, we anticipate a fast progressive formation of plausible 1,16-bisadduct-like intermediate moieties on a C-60 cage as the precursor structure leading to the formation of EF-6MC(n), by taking the corresponding regiochemistry and electronic properties into account.

and 1,7-C60 adducts, the 1,23-C60 adducts are an important type of C60 derivatives, where the property of the fullerene compounds is significantly affected by the addition pattern. However, much less is known on the adducts due to the less availability of the compounds. Herein, the hydroxide-promoted reactions of C60 with 2-alkylmalonates are reported, which produce the 1,23-C60 adducts with improved

The ferric perchlorate-mediated reaction of [60]fullerene with substituted malonate esters in the presence of acetic anhydride afforded the rare disubstituted [60]fullerene-fused lactones. A possible reaction mechanism is proposed.
