Abstract
Various transition metal salts have been employed to the radical reactions of [60]fullerene (C60). The present review article covers the reactions of C60 with active methylene compounds, methyl ketones, β-enamino carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acid derivatives, and diallylamines in the presence of Mn(OAc)3·2H2O affording the singly bonded fullerene dimers, 1,4-adducts and 1,16-adduct of C60, C60-fused dihydrofurans, methanofullerenes, C60-fused pyrrolines, C60-fused lactones, fullerenyl ester derivatives, and C60-fused pyrrolidines as well as the transformation of ArC60-H into ArC60-OAc by Mn(OAc)3·2H2O. Radical reactions of C60 promoted by other transition metal salts including copper(II), lead(IV), iron(III), ruthenium(II/III), tungsten(VI), cerium(IV) salts are also described.
Keywords: [60]fullerene, Radical reactions, Transition metal salts, Manganese(III) acetate, Copper(II) acetate, Ferric perchlorate, Lead(IV) acetate, Tetrabutylammonium decatungstate, Ruthenium complex, Ferric nitrite, Ferric chloride, Ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
