Abstract
Fullerene cyclopentadienide (PhCH2)(2)Ph3C60- and indenide (PhCH2)(2)PhC60- , each bearing two different organic groups, were efficiently synthesized t hrough regioselective reactions of 1,4-(PhCH2)(2)C-60 with an organocopper reagent (PhMgBr/CuBr . SMe2) or a Grignard reagent (PhMgBr) followed by dep rotonation with (KOBu)-Bu-t.
