The Cu(II)-catalyzed -heteroannulation reaction of [60]fullerene (C) with aryl sulfonamides and paraformaldehyde has been disclosed for the synthesis of diverse C-fused imidazolidines, of which one or both of the ArSO moieties could be removed selectively. Further transformations into the unexpected bicyclic 1,2,3,4-adduct and C-fused imidazolidinium iodide salt have also been demonstrated. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of control experiments. C-fused imidazolidinium iodide has been employed as an additive in the PCBM layer of inverted planar perovskite solar cells to increase power conversion efficiency.

The palladium-catalyzed three-component alkoxyarylation reaction of [60]fullerene with primary/secondary alcohols and aryl iodides generates a series of 1,4-(alkoxy)(aryl)[60]fullerene derivatives. Plausible reaction pathways for the formation of 1,4-(alkoxy)(aryl)[60]fullerenes are proposed. In addition, the electrochemical properties of the synthesized 1,4-alkoxyarylation adducts are investigated.

The simple one-step reaction of [60]fullerene with α-monosubstituted acetaldehydes and primary amines in the presence of Mn(OAc)·2HO under air conditions afforded a series of novel -substituted fulleropyrrolines with trisubstituted CC bonds in moderate to good yields. The addition of Mn(OAc)·2HO played a crucial role in the successful synthesis of -aryl fulleropyrrolines with trisubstituted CC bonds, which would be extremely difficult to prepare by known methods as a result of the decreased nucleophilicity of arylamines due to the p-π conjugation effect. Intriguingly, arylamines displayed abnormally higher reactivity as compared with non-arylamines in the current reaction system by the observation of obviously decreased equivalent of Mn(OAc)·2HO, higher product yields, and lower reaction temperature probably due to the radical reaction mechanism initiated by Mn(OAc)·2HO.

The first example of transition-metal catalyzed multicomponent carboannulation of [60]fullerene has been developed. [60]Fullerene, 2-(2,3-allenyl)malonates, and (hetero)aryl iodides undergo a Pd(0)-catalyzed tandem coupling-carboannulation process for regioselective access to novel polysubstituted [60]fullerene-fused cyclopentane derivatives with a wide range of substrate scope and high functional group compatibility. A plausible mechanism involving the formation of a fullerene-π-allylpalladium complex with the characteristic of a fullerene cation as a key intermediate has been proposed.
