Abstract
This cover picture shows a ligand-controlled, palladium-catalyzed migration reaction of [60]fullerene with allyloxy-tethered aryl iodides. Using 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (DPPBz) as a ligand, the chemoselectivity is switched to synthesize [60]fullerene-fused allylbenzofurans instead of previous spirocyclic derivatives through a sequential C—O bond cleavage/allyl-migration/intermolecular cycloaddition cascade process. Such transformation provides a unique and efficient route to rare [60]fullerene-fused benzofurans. More details are discussed in the article by Liu et al. on page 1733—1739.
