title: Product formation in the Prato reaction on Sc3N@D(5h)-C80: preference for [5,6]-bonds, and not pyracylenic bonds.
abstract: We report here reaction energies and NMR data for the N-tritylpyrrolidino mono-adducts of Sc(3)N@D(5h)-C(80). The pyracylene adduct that was previously suggested to be important for the Prato reaction is ruled out both from energetic and NMR points of view.
