Abstract

A high-yielding protocol to construct six-membered carbon rings on fullerene is presented. This methodology with in situ fullerene-cation-mediated intramolecular cyclization provides high selectivity and efficient access to six-membered tetrahydronaphthaleno[60]fullerenes with a remarkable functional group tolerance and excellent yields. Furthermore, high solubilities of tetrahydronaphthaleno[60]fullerenes are reported.
