Regioselective preparation of a bis-pyrazolinofullerene by a macrocyclization reaction

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Nov 3;52(90):13205-13208. doi: 10.1039/c6cc06549j.

Abstract

A single isomer of a pyrazolinofullerene bis-adduct was prepared by tether-directed remote functionalization. Specifically, a macrocyclization reaction between C60 and a bis-hydrazone reagent has been carried out to generate a regioisomerically pure fullerene bis-adduct which presents a lower LUMO than pristine C60.
