[60]Fullerene-fused lactones: manganese(III) acetate-mediated synthesis and novel reductive ring opening.
[reaction: see text] [60]Fullerene-fused lactones were prepared by the manganese(III) acetate-mediated reactions of [60]fullerene with carboxylic acids, carboxylic anhydrides, or malonic acids. Novel reductive ring opening of the lactones with Grignard reagents was observed.
