Abstract
Site-selective multiple addition reactions of fullerenes hold great promise for generating new nanocarbons with diverse material and biological applications. However, there are a lack of strategies for achieving site selectivity in a stepwise manner within this field. In this study, we discovered that tetrafluoropyridine-modified unsymmetrical 1,4-C60 adducts can undergo highly site-selective cycloadditions with diazoacetates. This finding suggests that leveraging the 1,4-unsymmetric bifunctional group effect can be an effective strategy for controlling the regioselectivity for further reactions of 1,4-(organo)[60]fullerene.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
