A. Puplovskis et al., NEW ROUTE FOR [60]FULLERENE FUNCTIONALIZATION IN [4+2]CYCLOADDITION REACTION USING INDENE, Tetrahedron letters, 38(2), 1997, pp. 285-288
The Diels-Alder [4+2] cycloaddition of isoindene, generated in situ fr
om indene, to [60]fullerene, yielded the new [60]fullerene derivative
1. The product was isolated by column chromatography and spectroscopic
ally characterized. This method provides a new route to derivatives wh
ere functional groups can be rigidly attached to the [60]fullerene cag
