W. Zhang et al., PHOTOCHEMICAL ADDITION OF METHANOL TO C-60 - FORMATION OF 1,4-DIMETHOXYFULLERENE, Chinese journal of chemistry, 16(5), 1998, pp. 478-480
The addition of methanol to C-60 in the presence of acetylglycine (AG)
was carried out under irradiation. The novel compound, 1,4-dimethoxyl
-1,4-dihydrofullerene (1), was isolated and characterized by FTIR, UV-
vis, H-1 and C-13 NMR, and FDMS.
