✦ Synopsis

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] The cyclopropanation reaction, [3a] which forms a cyclopropano (methano) addend on the fullerene sphere, and the 1,3-
