Abstract:A new one‐phase process for hydroarylation of C60 fullerene using aryl boronic acids and a rhodium catalyst in an aromatic solvent containing soluble protic additives is described. Yields of monohydroarylated product with tert‐butanol and water as the protic additive range from 14 to 50% depending on which arylboronic acid is used after reaction times of 4 hours or less which is a significant improvement from the outcome of reactions carried out using conditions from the literature. Accurate
