title: Copper(I)-catalyzed heteroannulation of [60]fullerene with ketoxime acetates: preparation of novel 1-fulleropyrrolines.
abstract: A cuprous bromide-catalyzed heteroannulation reaction of [60]fullerene with ketoxime acetates has been exploited to prepare novel 1-fulleropyrrolines through the cleavage of N-O and C-H bonds and formation of C-C and C-N bonds under thermal conditions. A plausible mechanism for the formation of 1-fulleropyrrolines is proposed on the basis of the experimental results. The electrochemistry of the obtained products has also been investigated.
