                                    alpha-Substituted o-quinodimethanes facilitate the covalent attachment of many attractive molecules in closest proximity to the C-60-core. Thermal isomerization of various (+/-)-hydroxybenzocyclobutene esters 4, 8, 10 and 13 in the presence of C-60 provided the corresponding fullerene adducts 5(n), 7(n), 9(n), 11(n) and 12(n) in high yields. Using a dumbbell shaped bis-o-quinodimethane precursor 19, accessible from (+/-)-7-hydroxybenzocyclobutene and dodecanedicarboxylic acid dichloride, a soluble C-60-containing polymer 20 was formed.
