Abstract

N-substituted 3,4-fullero pyrrolidine was synthesized according to 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid with protected α-amino and α-carboxyl groups were reacted with the activated hydroxyl group of N-substituted 3,4-fullero pyrrolidine, respectively. The products were deprotected, affording two novel fullerene α-amino acids, fullerene aspartic acid and fullerene glutamic acid. Their chemical structures were characterized by MALAI-TOF-MS, UV-Vis, FT-IR and 1HNMR. Both fullerene amino acids with a free amino group and a free carboxyl group would have unique property and potential use in medicine and biology. A novel method has been developed to synthesize fullerene conjugate. Their unique chemical structures make them very interesting for their potential use in medicine and biology.
