One-step direct oxidation of fullerene-fused alkoxy ethers to ketones for evaporable fullerene derivatives
Fullerenes are intrinsically electron deficient species which can facilitate challenging transformations in organic chemistry. Here fullerene-fused alkoxy ethers are shown to undergo copper-promoted oxidation by single electron transfer to the corresponding ketones via a fullerene radical cation int...
