Copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition for the functionalization of fullerene building blocks
Abstract:
In this paper, we report our ongoing progress in the preparation of fullerene-azide or fullerene-alkyne building blocks, allowing their further chemical transformation under the copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction conditions.
