W. Zhang et al., PHOTOLYSIS OF C-60 WITH CYCLIC AMINO-ACIDS - PREPARATION OF DIHYDROFULLERENES BY DECARBOXYLATION, Chemistry Letters, (10), 1997, pp. 1007-1008
Photolysis of C-60 with piperidinoacetic acid and morpholinoacetic aci
d results in the decarboxylation of the acids and formation of the 1,2
-dihydrofullerenes C-60(H)[CH2N(CH2)(5)] 1, C-60(H)[CH2N(CH2CH2)(2)O]
2 Under the same conditions the reactions with the methyl esters of th
e two cyclic amino acids give the fullerropyrrolidine derivatives C-60
[(C) under bar H(CH2)(4)N (C) under bar HCOOCH3] 3, and C-60[(C) under
bar H(CH2OCH2CH2)N (C) under bar HCOOCH3] 4.
