[60]Fullerene cycloaddition across hindered acenes

The Diels-Alder cycloadditions of [60]fullerene across sterically hindered 6,13-bis(2′,6′-dialkylphenyl)pentacenes, 1 and 2, produce fullerene-acene monoadducts 3 and 4. In both cases, further [60]fullerene cycloaddition to form cis-bis[60]fullerene adducts is retarded by steric resistance between the [60]fullerene moieties and the o-dialkyl substituents. Instead, the fullerene moieties of monoadducts 3 and 4 sensitize the formation of 1O2 which subsequently cycloadds across the acene backbone to produce novel syn and anti [60]fullerene-dioxo bisadducts, 8-11.
