Abstract

3-Sulfolene-3, 4-dicarboxylates effective for generation of bis (methylene) butanedioates were applied to [4+ 2] cycloaddition reaction of C60 to give fullerocyclohexenedicarboxylates, among which a t-butyl ester was hydrolyzed to a dicarboxylic acid derivative, useful for further conversion into its anhydride and half-esters.
