Regioselective intramolecular nucleophilic addition of alcohols to C60: one-step formation of a cis-1 bicyclic-fused fullerene.

چکیده
The first example of intramolecular nucleophilic addition of an alcohol to a fullerene double bond is described. In particular, the straightforward one-step reaction of commercially available sarcosine, hydroxyacetaldehyde, and [60]fullerene, in refluxing chlorobenzene, affords a structurally complex novel pyrrolidinofullerene endowed with a furan ring simultaneously fused to both the pyrrolidine and fullerene moieties, which has been spectroscopically and electrochemically characterized. The 2-fold cyclization reaction occurs in a totally regioselective stepwise process leading exclusively to the cis-1 isomer. Theoretical calculations (DFT and ONIOM approach) predict that, in contrast to the previous examples with phenols, which require the existence of an intramolecular H-bond and the presence of a methyl group on C-2 of the pyrrolidine ring to afford the cyclized pyran-fused pyrrolidinofullerenes, the formation of the oxygen pentagonal ring is highly favored and does not present such structural constrains. Actually, the 5-exo-trig cyclization reaction involving the nucleophilic attack of the hydroxyl group to the fullerene surface is moderately exothermic although it has a substantially high energy barrier in accordance with the fact that high temperatures have to be reached to obtain the final product.

Results of selected-ion flow tube experiments are reported that explore the nucleophilic interaction of pyrrolidine and piperidine with C60 1 , C60 , C60 31 at 294 6 2 K in helium buffer gas at a pressure of 0.35 6 0.01 Torr. Two efficient sequential addition reactions were observed with C60 1 in analogy with previous results obtained with acyclic amine nucleophiles. Multicollision-induced diss...
متن کاملMechanism, kinetics and selectivity of selenocyclization of 5-alkenylhydantoins: an experimental and computational study
The mechanism and selectivity of a bicyclic hydantoin formation by selenium-induced cyclization are investigated. The proposed mechanism involves the intermediates formed by an electrophilic addition of the selenium reagent on a double bond of the starting 5-alkenylhydantoin prior the cyclization. These intermediates are readily converted into the more stable cyclic seleniranium cations. A key ...
