“…In this way an increased contribution of cis-isomers was achieved, but without significant selectivity. 5 The first double cycloaddition to C 60 directed by the substrate was carried out by combining two cycloadditions, Bingel and Diels-Alder, with regioselective production of the equatorial isomer with an excellent yield of 50%. 6 Most of the regioselective syntheses of fullerene bisadducts are now based on tethers with two reactive moieties directing to the desired positions using Bingel, 1c,7 Diels-Alder 1d,4b and Prato 4a,8,9 cycloaddition reactions.…”
