Synthesis of hydrophosphorylated fullerene under neutral conditions

Org Lett. 2005 Dec 8;7(25):5633-5. doi: 10.1021/ol0522586.

Abstract

[chemical reaction: see text]. A variety of phosphorous compounds such as secondary phosphines, phosphine oxides, phosphinates, and phosphonates undergo addition to [60]fullerene in DMSO/C6H5Cl without extraneous reagents to produce hydrophosphorylated fullerene derivatives in moderate to high yield.
