Easy Access to [60]Fulleroalkaloids via Photoinduced Reactions of Tertiary Amines with [60] Fullerene

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.
