Theoretical study of the corannulene ozonolysis and evaluation of the various reaction paths

“…Anafcheh and Ghafouri investigated the electronic and chemical properties of mono and multiply-functionalized fullerene derivatives through the [2 + 3] cycloaddition reactions of 1,3-dipoles such as nitriloxide (HC"N + AO À ), azide (N"N + ANH À ) and azomethineylides (H 2 CANH + ACH 2 À ) with C 60 fullerene [14]. The addition of a 1,3-dipole to an alkene for the synthesis of five-membered rings, constitute one of the most important classes of organic reactions [14,34,35]. The 1,3-dipolar reactions of corannulene through its rim and spoke p bonds does with the dipoles such as diazomethane, nitrile oxide, and nitrone; the rim addition yields ''one possible'' adduct whereas two ''regioselective'' adducts are formed by spoke addition.…”
