Photoinduced reactions of tertiary amines with [60]fullerene (C60) were successfully applied to the synthesis of [60]fulleroalkaloids. This method is easy and effective for constructing C60 derivatives containing natural alkaloids for the purpose of checking the influence of the carbon cage on the biological activities of the alkaloids. In this letter, the preparation and characterization of [60]fulleroscandine is reported.
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.
