Abstract
Upon irradiation 2,3-Diphenyl-2H-azirine (2) is added to C60 1 with fo rmation of mono and oligo adducts. -(3,4-Dihy-dro-2,5-diphenyl-2H-pyrr olo)fulleren-60 (3) has been isolated and identified by standard spect roscopic methods. Mechanistic studies revealed two reaction paths lead ing to 3, i.e. the classic 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition via the nitrile y lide 4 (direct irradiation) or a route via 2-azaallenyl radical cation s 5 (sensitization by photoinduced electron transfer).
