[60]Fullerene reacted with aryloxy- and alkoxyketenes, generated in situ fr
om the corresponding acid chlorides and triethylamine, to give the 1:2 addu
cts in good yields. The reaction proceeded via a formal [2+2] cycloaddition
, followed by enolization and acylation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
