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
