Abstract:
New [3:3]hexakisadducts 3, 6, and 7 have been synthesized by a stepwise addition of two tripodal malonate tethers to pristine [60]fullerene. For the first time, [3:3]hexakisadducts of two sets of asymmetrically substituted malonate addends could be prepared as single in/out isomers by following this synthetic protocol. Thereby, four spherically defined addend zones I-IV were created with various similar degrees of latitude on the fullerene sphere. Four amphiphilic [3:3]hexakisadducts 12, 14, 18, and 19 were prepared with different relative arrangements of both the hydrophilic and lipophilic moieties in the addend zones I/II and III/IV, respectively.
