A facile access to [60]fullerene-fused 1,3-dioxolanes: reaction of [60]fullerene with aldehydes/ketones promoted by ferric perchlorate.
The facile reaction of [60]fullerene (C(60)) with various aldehydes or ketones in the presence of ferric perchlorate successfully afforded the rare C(60)-fused 1,3-dioxolanes. A possible reaction mechanism for the formation of the C(60)-fused 1,3-dioxolanes is proposed.
