title: Synthesis of [60]fullerene-fused sultones via sulfonic acid group-directed C-H bond activation.
abstract: Functionalization with the sulfonic acid group as the directing group in a C-H activation reaction has been revealed for the first time. [60]Fullerene has been employed in the unprecedented palladium-catalyzed C-H activation reaction of arylsulfonic acids to afford [60]fullerene-fused sultones.
