Synthesis of [60]fulleroindolines: palladium-catalyzed heteroannulations of [60]fullerene with o-iodoanilines

Abstract

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of C(60) with a variety of o-iodoanilines afforded the first synthesis of C(60)-fused indoline derivatives. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.
