A directed synthesis of new phosphorylated methanofullerenes containing acetonide fragments was accomplished for the first time, their chemical structure was confirmed by a combination of spectroscopic methods. Removal of the acetonide protection produced new phosphorrylated diol methanofullerenes, their structure and properties were studied. The diol methanofullerenes are well soluble in polar solvents, including a mixture of DMSO-water (1: 9).
