Broad Synthesis of Disubstituted Dihydrofuran-Fused [60]Fullerene Derivatives via Cu(I)/Ag(I)-Mediated Synergistic Annulation Reaction.
A novel and efficient Cu(I)/Ag(I)-mediated synergistic annulation reaction of [60]fullerene with diarylethanones, benzoylacetonitriles, and β-dicarbonyl compounds has been developed for the direct construction of diverse disubstituted dihydrofuran-fused [60]fullerene derivatives. This transformation exhibits a remarkably broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance and provides a useful method to a scarce class of fullerene derivatives.
