RESUMO
An interrupted N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed radical coupling strategy is disclosed for efficient alkylation and arylation of [60]fullerene. This novel and general strategy bridges the gap between organocatalytic radical cross-coupling and functionalization of fullerenes. Readily available feedstocks, remarkably broad substrate scope and functional group compatibility, and convenient late-stage nanomodification of complex molecules make this strategy with incomparable diversity and practicality in the synthesis of monoalkylated and -arylated fullerenes.
