Abstract

Abstract The synthesis and structural characterization of the double-stranded carbon skeleton in the belt region of a C 84 fullerene has been achieved. The synthetic methodology used is based on cyclic dimerization of diastereomeric AB-type monomers 18 by a non-diastereospecific Diels–Alder reaction with isobenzofuran and acenaphthylene groups as reactive termini. Four diasteromeric monomer precursors 17 were prepared for ...
