Synthesis and properties of new fullerene C60 derivatives, containing acetonide and polyol fragments

New mono- and hexa-methanofullerenes containing different number of acetonide groups are synthesized and characterized. Removing the acetonide protection leads to new chromatographically pure water-soluble polyol methanofullerenes with essentially quantitative yields.

A new approach for synthesis of chromatographically pure water-soluble polyol methanofullerenes with almost quantitative yields has been developed.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
