An Alternative Type of Fullerene Products from the Reaction of [60]Fullerene with Alkoxides and Subsequent Derivatization
摘要:
Reaction of [60]fullerene with freshly prepared RCH(2)CH(2)ONa/RCH(2)CH(2)OH (R = H, Me, Et, Ph) in anhydrous toluene in the presence of air unexpectedly afforded fullerene products with a C(60)-fused tetrahydrofuran ring Skeleton and an acetal moiety, which could be further transformed into C(60)-fused dihydrofurans, tolyl-substituted C(60)-fused tetrahydrofuran, and methanofullerenes bearing a formyl group by boron trifluoride etherate. Possible reaction mechanisms are proposed to explain the formation of different fullerene products.
synthesized by the fluoride ion-mediated reaction of [60]fullerene with 2-bromoenol silyl ethers, which were easily prepared by 2-bromination of the corresponding enol silyl ethers. The reactivity differed significantly depending on the stability of the 2-bromoenol silyl ethers. High yield and selectivity were achieved for the reaction of 2-bromoenol trimethylsilyl ethers under mild conditions (KF/18-crown-6-ether)
