Transition-Metal-Free Domino Reaction of [60]Fullerene, Indole, and DMSO/HCl: One-Pot Access to Diverse N-Substituted [60]Fulleroindole Derivatives.

Abstract

An unprecedented multicomponent domino reaction of [60]fullerene, indole, and DMSO/HCl has been developed for the one-pot efficient synthesis of diverse N-substituted [60]fulleroindole derivatives. This methodology features simple operation, low cost, and transition-metal-circumvented and good functional group tolerance in indole.
