Among the many reactions that were successfully developed, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides provides a valuable synthetic procedure for the preparation of functionalized fullerenes. The product of the reaction, named fulleropyrrolidine because a pyrrolidine ring is fused to a ring-junction of a fullerene, retains the basic properties of the parent fullerene and can be used as a starting material for further functionalization. The aim of this contribution is to introduce particularly significant and useful fulleropyrrolidines that appeared in the literature from 1999 to date and, hopefully, to stimulate new work that will further exploit the fullerene three-dimensional framework in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Among the many reactions that were successfully developed, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides provides a valuable synthetic procedure for the preparation of functionalized fullerenes. The product of the reaction, named fulleropyrrolidine because a pyrrolidine ring is fused to a ring-junction of a fullerene, retains the basic properties of the parent fullerene and can be used as a starting material for further functionalization. The aim of this contribution is to introduce particularly significant and useful fulleropyrrolidines that appeared in the literature from 1999 to date and, hopefully, to stimulate new work that will further exploit the fullerene three-dimensional framework in organic synthesis.Pubblicazioni consigliate
