title: Synthesis and water solubility of adamantyl-OEG-fullerene hybrids.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A series of new adamantyl-oligoethyleneglycol-fullerene hybrids was prepared via Bingel-Hirsch functionalization of the C60 fullerene with various adamantyl-oligoethyleneglycol malonates. As NMDA-targeted antioxidants, these compounds may have the potential to be developed as therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurological disorders.
