title: FeCl3-mediated cyclization of [60]fullerene with N-benzhydryl sulfonamides under high-speed vibration milling conditions.
abstract: The FeCl3-mediated reaction of [60]fullerene with N-benzhydryl sulfonamides afforded C60-fused indane derivatives using the high-speed vibration milling technique. A possible reaction mechanism involving the unprecedented FeCl3-mediated homolytic C-N bond cleavage of N-benzhydryl sulfonamides is proposed. The electrochemistry of the obtained C60-fused indanes was also investigated.
