Comprehensive SummaryA series of unreported fullerodihydropyridine‐3‐ones were synthesized as a new family of fullerene derivatives in moderate to good yields by a simple one‐step reaction of [60]fullerene with cheap and readily available β‐substituted ethylamines in the absence or presence of arylacetaldehydes under the assistance of Cu(OAc)2. The in situ generation of arylacetaldehydes by the C—N bond cleavage of arylethylamines avoided their complex synthesis in advance and realized the preparation of fullerodihydropyridine‐3‐ones with structural and functional diversities, which may have promising applications in perovskite solar cells to improve the performance of photovoltaic devices due to the existence of a large π‐conjugated system on the dihydropyridine‐3‐one ring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
