Derivatization of Fullerenes: An Organic Chemistry Laboratory
Charles T. Cox, Jr. and Melanie M. Cooper
Department of Chemistry, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634-1905

January 2006
Vol. 83 No. 1
p. 99
Abstract
Fullerene chemistry is a rapidly expanding research field that has grown immensely over the past decade. However, little fullerene chemistry is being incorporated into undergraduate lectures or laboratories, and there have only been two contributions in this Journal concerning this chemistry. With this in mind, two undergraduate organic chemistry laboratories were developed detailing the synthesis of fullerene derivatives, using the Bingel (carbene insertion) and Prato (1,3-dipolar addition) protocols. These experiments are appropriate for a second-semester organic chemistry laboratory. The experiments not only introduce fullerene chemistry, but they emphasize and reinforce key techniques including refluxing, IR, 1H NMR, UV–vis, TLC, and column chromatography.
