title: End-capping of a pseudorotaxane via Diels-Alder reaction for the construction of C60-terminated [2]rotaxanes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The Diels-Alder reaction of various dienophiles such as C(60) with a pseudorotaxane having a sultine moiety afforded corresponding [2]rotaxanes in moderate yields. The introduction of a porphyrin moiety on the wheel component considerably enhanced the efficiency of the end-capping reaction with C(60).
