Abstract
Fullerene was easily converted to its derivatives by the treatment wit h benzocyclobutene homologs for 20 h at 140 degrees C. The spectroscop ic analyses clearly indicate mono-[4 + 2]-cycloadduct structures of it s derivatives. Isolated yields of mono- and diadducts were from 4.4 to 15.6% and from 8.1 to 5.3%, respectively.
