Regioselective introduction of two boronic acid groups into [60]fullerene using saccharides as imprinting templates

Abstract

Two boronic acid groups were introduced into [60]fullerene using saccharides as template molecules: it was found that the regioselectivity changes depending on the saccharide structure.

13. In 12a, three isomers (in–in, out–in and out–out) are available, in principle, owing to the direction of the B(OCH₂CMe₂CH₂O) group in the benzene ring. Judging from the size of the template saccharide and the splitting pattern of the ¹H NMR spectrum, the out–in and out–out isomers can be excluded. Thus, 12a isolated here is the in–in isomer. For an explanation of the concept of in–in, out–in and out–out isomers, see refs. 4–6.
