title: Palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation of [60]fullerene with anilides via C-H bond activation.
abstract: The palladium-catalyzed reaction of [60]fullerene with a variety of readily available anilides, initiated by C-H bond activation and followed by cyclization, afforded [60]fulleroindolines in a highly regioselective manner. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.
