Preparation of ω-tetrahydropyran-2-ylsulfanylalkylmagnesium chlorides: Useful reagents for the synthesis of 1-(ω-mercaptoalkyl)-1, 2-dihydrobuckminsterfullerenes (C …
ω-Tetrahydropyran-2-ylsulfanylalkylmagnesium chlorides are prepared as Grignard reagents containing protected mercaptoalkyl chains, which are useful for the direct introduction of ω-mercaptoalkyl chains to electrophiles. In order to prove the usefulness of these reagents, they were reacted with buckminsterfullerene (C60) to give 1-(ω- mercaptoalkyl)-1, 2-dihydrobuck minsterfullerenes after the deprotection of THP group ...
