Since the discovery of fullerenes, various methods for their functionalization have been developed and explored extensively. [1] Among the most widely employed derivatization reactions are Diels-Alder cycloadditions, [2] cyclopropanations, [3] and azomethine 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. [4]
**Retro‐cycloaddition** of easily prepared pyrrolidinofullerenes affords quantitatively pristine fullerenes, and thus can be used as a new protection‐deprotection protocol in the chemistry of fullerenes, as shown in the cover picture. In their Communication on page 110 ff., N. Martín, L. Echegoyen,
