Synthesis of diverse 1,4-(azaindole)[60]fullerenes via the transition-metal free three-component coupling reaction of azaindoles, C60, and bromoalkanes/triphenylamines

Abstract

A transition-metal free three-component coupling reaction of azaindoles, C60, and bromoalkanes/triphenylamines has been developed to provide an efficient access to diverse azaindole functionalized 1,4-C60 adducts. This protocol exhibits low cost, operational-simplicity, wide substrate scope, and mild and convenient conditions.
