Synthesis and self-photooxygenation of alkenyl-linked [60]fullerene derivatives. A regioselective ene reaction.
[reaction: see text] Alkenyl-linked C(60) derivatives undergo self-photooxygenation regioselectively, by the preferential abstraction of allylic hydrogens on the fullerene side of the double bond.
