One‐Pot Synthesis of Diverse 1,4‐[60]Fullerephenols via Three‐Component Umpolung Cascade Coupling of Phenols, C₆₀, and Nucleophiles

Abstract

A three‐component umpolung cascade coupling reaction of phenols, C60, and different nucleophiles which includes H2O, alcohols, triphenylamines and carbazoles was developed. Furthermore, one‐pot 1,4‐bisphenol coupling on C60 has been realized by this method. This practical protocol features high chemo‐ and regioselectivity, wide substrate range, easy operation and low cost, thus providing a robust method for the one‐pot synthesis of various unsymmetrical 1,4‐[60]fullerephenols.
