Manganese(iii) acetate-mediated free radical reactions of [60]fullerene with β-dicarbonyl compounds

Abstract

[60]Fullerene reacted with various β-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of Mn(OAc)3·2H2O to generate dihydrofuran-fused [60]fullerene derivatives or 1,4-bisadducts. Dihydrofuran-fused [60]fullerene derivatives 2 could be formed by treatment of α-unsubstituted β-diketones 1a–e or β-ketoesters 1f and 1g with [60]fullerene in refluxing chlorobenzene in the presence of Mn(III). Solvent-participated unsymmetrical 1,4-bisadducts 3 were obtained through the reaction of [60]fullerene with dimethyl malonate 1h or α-substituted β-dicarbonyl compounds 1i–1n in toluene. A possible reaction mechanism for the formation of different fullerene derivatives is proposed.
