Visible-light-mediated addition of α-aminoalkyl radicals to [60]fullerene by using photoredox catalysts.
The functionalization of fullerene has been extensively studied and various fullerene derivatives have been synthesized. We have succeeded in the functionalization of [60]fullerene by using α-aminoalkyl radicals generated by visible-light-mediated single-electron oxidation of α-silylamines as synthetic intermediates. In these reactions, the introduction of diarylamino groups, which are useful electron donors, has been easily achieved.
