Abstract
alpha-Substituted o-quinodimethanes facilitate the covalent attachment of many attractive molecules in closest proximity to the C-60-core. T hermal isomerization of various (+/-)-hydroxybenzocyclobutene esters 4 , 8, 10 and 13 in the presence of C-60 provided the corresponding full erene adducts 5(n), 7(n), 9(n), 11(n) and 12(n) in high yields. Using a dumbbell shaped bis-o-quinodimethane precursor 19, accessible from ( +/-)-7-hydroxybenzocyclobutene and dodecanedicarboxylic acid dichlorid e, a soluble C-60-containing polymer 20 was formed.
