Abstract
Isoxazolino[4,5:1,2][60]- and -[70]fullerenes undergo an efficient retro-cycloaddition reaction to pristine fullerene by thermal treatment in the presence of an excess of a dienophile and Cu(II) catalysis, which can be selectively used in the presence of malonate or pyrrolidine cycloadducts. Trapping experiments using N-phenylmaleimide as dipolarophile have shown that the reaction mechanism occurs by thermal removal of the nitrile oxide 1,3-dipole, in a process which is favored by the presence of Cu(II) as the catalyst. The ESI-MS study supports the observed retro-cycloaddition process for both C60 and C70 derivatives. In contrast to previous electrochemical retro-cycloaddition processes observed in fulleropyrrolidines, isoxazolinofullerenes were stable under oxidative conditions.
