Kinetic Study of the Synthesis of a Fullerene Derivative Containing a Diterpene Fragment
摘要
Results are given for a kinetic study of the synthesis of a new fullerene derivative containing a diterpene fragment obtained using HPLC and subsequent mathematical modelling. Kinetic and activation parameters were found for the cyclopropanation of fullerene using the Bingel procedure and a reaction mechanism was proposed. The optimal synthesis conditions were found to entail a slight excess of a chlorine‑containing cyclopropanation agent and carrying out the reaction at room temperature.
