The BF3·Et2O-catalyzed formal [3 + 2] reaction of aziridinofullerenes with various carbonyl compounds for the easy preparation of fullerooxazolidines has been developed. Moreover, the reaction of aziridinofullerene with ethyl formate affords the simplest fullerooxazole without substituent.
The facile one-step reaction of [60]fullerene with isocyanates/isothiocyanates in the presence of ferric perchlorate generates a series of novel oxazolidinofullerenes/thiazolidinofullerenes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
