A hexaallyl[60]fullerene, C₆₀(CH₂CH[double bond, length half m-dash]CH₂)₆

Abstract

C₆₀Cl₆ Reacts with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of TiCl₄ to form a C_s symmetrical, hexaallyl addended [60]fullerene derivative, C₆₀(CH₂CH[double bond, length half m-dash]CH₂)₆, in 58% yield; C₆₀(CH₂CH[double bond, length half m-dash]CH₂)₅Cl is separated as a minor reaction product in 14% yield.
