Regioselective synthesis and crystal structure of C70(CF3)10[C(CO2Et)2]

Abstract

The Bingel reaction of poly(trifluoromethyl)fullerene p7mp-C70(CF3)10 with diethyl malonate and CBr4 in the presence of bases yields the C70(CF3)10[C(CO2Et)2] cycloadduct as a major product, along with two C70(CF3)10[CH(CO2Et)] isomers. An XRD study of the main compound demonstrates that a [2 + 1] cycloaddition occurs at the unoccupied pole of the p7mp-C70(CF3)10 molecule. The observed regiochemical selectivity of the [2 + 1] cycloaddition is shown to be favored from both energetic and orbital reactivity viewpoints.
