Regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of bis- and tetrakisadducts of C70 by directed remote functionalization using Tröger base tethers.

Double Bingel cyclopropanation of C70 with bismalonates featuring Tröger base derivatives as chiral spacers afforded bisadducts with almost perfect regio- and stereoselectivity. The excellent directing property of these rigidly folded spacers in the remote functionalization of the higher fullerene was further highlighted by the selective formation of a product with a novel bisaddition pattern involving the C(7)-C(22) and C(33)-C(34) bonds of C70. Enantiomerically pure bisadducts of C70 were prepared by highly diastereoselective transformations of bismalonates incorporating optically pure Tröger base tethers. The absolute configuration of these bisadducts was established by comparison of circular dichroism (CD) spectra with data reported in the literature. For the first time, optically active tetrakisadducts of a fullerene were prepared by two sequential chiral-spacer-controlled remote functionalizations.
