Abstract

Ring-opening reaction of tetrahydrofuran takes place on penta(methyl)- and penta( n-butylphenyl)[60]fullerenes in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane giving penta(organo)fullerene hydroxybutyl derivatives, C 60R 5(C 4H 8OH) (R = Me, n BuC 6H 4). The hydroxyl groups were further transformed into methacrylate and norbornylcarbonyloxy groups via esterification with the corresponding acid chlorides. The methacrylate derivative, penta(methyl)[60]fullerenylbutyl methacrylates was crystallographically characterized.
