Reaction of an Aza[60]fullerene radical with diphenylmethanes and fluorenes: a mechanistic approach.
[reaction: see text] The mechanism of the reaction of azafullerene radical C(59)N(*) with diphenylmethane and 9-methyl-9H-fluorene has been investigated. The primary and secondary kinetic isotope effects provide strong evidence for a stepwise mechanism in which the hydrogen-atom abstraction is the rate-determining step.
