Synthesis of Fullerene-Fused Fluorine-Containing Lactones from the Radical Reaction of [60]Fullerene with Fluorinated Phenylacetic Acids

Abstract

A series of fullerene-fused fluorinated lactones were prepared­ by the manganese(III) acetate mediated radical reaction of [60]fullerene (C₆₀) with fluorinated phenylacetic acids (Ar_FCH₂COOH). Interestingly, the products which contain a 2-fluoro­ substituent on the benzene ring are mixtures of two stereoisomers due to the stereo and electronic effects of the ortho-fluorine atom­.

Key words

C₆₀-fused lactones - fluorinated phenylacetic acids - manganese(III) acetate - stereoisomers
