Abstract
The chemical reactivity of a 10‐membered diketo open‐cage fullerene C60(O)2(OOtBu)4 was investigated in an effort to reveal the unique reaction pattern of fullerene derivatives. Selective cleavage of peroxo O−O bonds was observed under thermolysis in the presence of iodine to form epoxy groups around the orifice. Opening of the epoxy groups leads to vicinal diol moiety, oxidation of which resulted in a new 10‐membered keto‐lactone open‐cage fullerene derivative. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis showed that the size of the rectangular orifice is around 2.96×4.66 Å.
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
