Addition of diphenylphosphinoyl azide to [60]fullerene

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02494864

The reaction of [60]fullerene with diphenylphosphinoyl azide in toluene or in o-dichlorobenzene in the presence of traces of water affords 2-[N-(diphenylphosphoryl)amino]-1-hydroxy [60]fullerene. This reaction in THF gives a mixture of (N-diphenylphosphoryl)[60]fullereno[1,2-6]aziridine and a product of partial hydrolysis of the bisadduct of phosphorylated azide and fullerene.
