Fullerene-Based Macro-Heterocycle Prepared through Selective Incorporation of Three N and Two O Atoms into C60

A 14‐membered heterocycle is created on the C60 cage skeleton through a multistep procedure. Key steps involve repeated PCl5‐induced hydroxylamino N−O bond cleavage leading to insertion of nitrogen atoms, and also piperidine‐induced peroxo O−O bond cleavage leading to insertion of oxygen atoms. The hetero atoms form one pyrrole, two pyran, and one diazepine rings in conjunction with the C60 skeleton carbon atoms. The fullerene‐based macrocycle showed unique reactivities towards fluoride ion and copper salts.
