Palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation of [60]fullerene with N-(2-arylethyl) sulfonamides via C–H bond activation†
Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation of [60]fullerene with various N-(2-arylethyl) sulfonamides afforded a variety of [60]fullerene-fused tetrahydrobenzazepines. These reactions were initiated by C–H bond activation and followed by cyclization. In addition, further transformation and electrochemistry of the obtained [60]fullerene-fused tetrahydrobenzazepines were investigated.
