Metallocenyl-containing and Unsaturated Fulleropyrrolidine Derivatives: Synthesis and Hydrogenation

The possibility of Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation of ferrocenyl, cymantrenyl, and ruthenocenyl derivatives of N-methyl-2-(3-chlorovinyl)fulleropyrrolidine and N-methyl-2-(2-styryl)fulleropyrrolidine with hydrogen was elucidated. A new compound, N-methyl-2-(3-chlorovinyl-3-ruthenocenyl)fulleropyrrolidine, was synthesized.
