Selective nitration of open‐cage [60]fullerene derivatives by Ponzio reactionSelective nitration of open‐cage [60]fullerene derivatives by Ponzio reaction
ABSTRACTwe outline three methods for the preparation of fullerols as polyhydroxylated fullerene derivatives through the reaction of fullerenes with electrophilic reagents. The synthetic methodology includes a sequence of reactions using an aqueous acid chemistry, the epoxidation reaction, or the interesting nitronium chemistry as an key approach for the conversion of fullerenes to fullerols. The structure of fullerols was characterized and proposed to consist of at least 13 hydroxy functional moieties incorporating both hydroxy and hemi-ketal as parts of the structural components.
