Comprehensive Summary

Chemical functionalization of fullerenes has been an important topic in fullerene chemistry. Herein, an unprecedented Pd-catalyzed migration reaction of [60]fullerene with allyloxy-tethered aryl iodides is present for the preparation of novel [60]fullerene-fused allylbenzofurans. The use of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (DPPBz) as a ligand is crucial for the success of the transformation. The reaction shows high chemo- and regioselectivity, and is flexible with regard to allyl-migration site, providing a new and efficient approach to rare [60]fullerene-fused benzofurans. Control experiments disclose that the reaction most probably undergoes a sequential C—O bond cleavage/allyl-migration/intermolecular cycloaddition cascade process.image
