Synthesis and structure of allylated derivatives of fullerenes C60 and C70

New chromatographically pure monoand hexamethanofullerenes C60 and C70 containing active allylic groups were synthesized by Bingel—Hirsch reaction. These compounds are promising for the studies of biological activity, as well as for obtaining on their basis new fullerenecontaining materials. The purity and composition of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and HPLC, their structure was established by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.
