Facile Access to Novel [60]Fullerenyl Diethers and [60]Fullerene–Sugar Conjugates via Annulation of Diol Moieties Wen-Qiang Zhai Sheng-Peng Jiang Ru-Fang Peng Bo Jin Guan-Wu Wang 10.1021/acs.orglett.5b00536.s001 https://acs.figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Facile_Access_to_Novel_60_Fullerenyl_Diethers_and_60_Fullerene_Sugar_Conjugates_via_Annulation_of_Diol_Moieties/2175745 A general and facile annulation of various diol motifs to [60]­fullerene has been developed. This protocol can afford not only 6- to 10-membered-ring fullerenyl diethers in one step from simple acyclic diols but also directly couple [60]­fullerene with a variety of structurally diverse sugars. The [60]­fullerene-sugar conjugates formed do not require any linker moiety and maintain their inherent structural integrity. The electrochemistry of the fullerenyl diethers and [60]­fullerene-sugar conjugates has also been investigated. 2015-04-17 00:00:00 Annulation Facile Access conjugate integrity variety annulation fullerenyl diethers Fullerene Diol MoietiesA diol motifs Diether couple fullerene linker moiety Fullerenyl acyclic diols electrochemistry Conjugate
