Synthesis of a Crushed Fullerene C60H24 through Sixfold Palladium-Catalyzed Arylation.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of a new C_3v -symmetric crushed fullerene C₆₀H₂₄ (5) has been accomplished in three steps from truxene through sixfold palladium-catalyzed intramolecular arylation of a syn-trialkylated truxene precursor. Laser irradiation of 5 induces cyclodehydrogenation processes that result in the formation of C₆₀, as detected by LDI-MS.
