Regioselective Synthesis of 1,4-Di(organo)[60]fullerenes through DMF-assisted Monoaddition of Silylmethyl Grignard Reagents and Subsequent Alkylation Reaction
摘要:
Monoaddition of Grignard reagents, in particular tri(organo)silylmethyl magnesium chlorides, to [60]fullerene took place smoothly in the presence of dimethylformamideto produce (organo)(hydro)[60]fullerenes, (C60RH)-H-1, in good yield (up to 93% isolated yield). The hydrofullerene was then deprotonated to generate the corresponding anion, C60R-, which was then alkylated to obtain 58 pi-electron di(organo)[60]fullerenes, (C60RR2)-R-1, in good to high yield (up to 93% overall yield). The two-step methodology provides a wide variety of 1,4-di(organo)[60] fullerenes bearing the same or different organic addends on the [60] fullerene core. By changing the addends, one can control the chemical and physical properties of the compounds at the molecular and bulk levels.
Addition reactions of Me2SiYCH2MgCl (1) to C60 provided two products, HC60CH2SiYMe2 (2) and [Me2YSiCH2]2C60 (3) (Y = Me, H, CH=CH2, Ph, O(i)Pr). Selective preparation of either 2 or 3 was accomplished by selection of the solvent; 2 was formed in THF, whereas 3 was produced in toluene.
