Background
[0003] Since the discovery of fullerenes, a number of their poly-substituted derivatives have been reported. For example, polyalkylfullerene derivatives can be prepared by reacting fullerenes with organic alkyl lithium or alkyl Grignard reagents and then with alkyl halides, or directly with organic radicals. See Wudl, et al., ACS Symp. Ser. 1992, 481, 161 and Krusic, et al., Science 1991, 254, 1183. On the other hand, enones react with fullerenes to afford polycycloalkylfullerene derivatives. See Wilson, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 8495. As another example, polyalkylaminofullerene derivatives is synthesized by reacting fullerenes with alkyl amine. See Hirsch, et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 1991, 30, 1309. Some of the above-mentioned reactions, however, suffer from low yields and ion reaction time.

These alkyl groups may also contain one or more double bond or triple bond and the cyclic alkyl groups may contain one or more heteroatoms, which are, typically, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. Examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, amyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, pentadecyl, icosyl, alkyl, 2-butenyl, 2-pentenyl, 3-hexenyl, 4-decenyl, 5-nonadecenyl, 2-butnyl, 3-octnyl, 5-octadecnyl, cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, adamantyl, norbornyl, isobornyl, cyclopentyl-methyl, cyclohexylmethyl, 1- or 2-cyclohexylethyl, cyclo-pentenyl, cyclohexenyl, cycloheptenyl, cyclo-octenyl, tetra-hydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, piperidinyl, morpholino and pyrrolindinyl groups.
[0009] As used herein, the term “aryl” refers to C6-40aromatic rings. These moietes may also be fused rings and can be fused with aryl or heteroaryl which is as defined below. Fused rings are rings that share a common carbon-carbon bond. Typically aryl groups include phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl, indazolyl, phenanthryl, and anthracyl.

[0011] As used herein, the term “halide” is defined as fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo. The terms “polynitro-fullerenes” and “polycyclosulfated fullerenes” in this disclosure have the formulas, F—(NO2)nand F—(SO4)n, respectively, in which n is at least 2. The term “nucleophilic agent” is defined as an electron-rich species that donates electrons in a reaction. Examples of nucleophilic agents that can be employed in the preparation of polyorganofullerene derivatives include amine, phenol, alkoxide, organothiolate, carbanion, organoamide anion, thiol, amino acid, and thiol carbamate anion.

The use of these intermediates allows the reactions to proceed at a fast rate under a mild condition. These fullerene derivatives that are synthesized from polynitrofullerenes or polycyclosulfated fullerenes can, in turn, be used to produce fullerene-grafted polymers. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,635,581. In addition to acting as starting materials for polymers, these derivatives have also been demonstrated to be useful free-radicals scavengers. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,648,523.
[0014] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments, and also from the appending claims.
Detailed Description
[0015] Described below are various methods for synthesizing some of the polyorganofullerene derivatives via polynitro-fullerenes or polycyclosulfated fullerenes described herein.
[0016] Polynitrofullerene derivatives, F—(NO2)n, which act as a reactive intermediate in this invention, can be prepared by one of the following methods:
[0017] a) A method for producing F—(NO2)n, involve reacting fullerene, F, with nitrogen dioxide radicals, NO2, which are generated from sodium nitrite, NaNO2, and concentrated HNO3. See Chiang et al., Tetrahedron 1996, 52(14), 4963. The structure of F—(NO2)nhas been characterized to contain at least 4 nitro groups.
[0018] b) F—(NO2)n, wherein n is 4, can also be prepared from reacting fullerene with dinitrogen tetraoxide, N2O4in carbon disulfide solution. See Cataldo et al., Fullerene Sci. & Techno. 1997, 5(1), 257.
[0019] c) Yet another method for the preparation of F—(NO2)ncan be done by reacting fullerene with nitrogen dioxide gas, which is generated from a mixture of NaNO2and FeSO4in aqueous H2SO4. See Sarkar et al., J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commum. 1994, 275.
[0020] d) Still another method for the preparation of F—(NO2)ncan be done by reacting fullerene with fuming nitric acid. See Hamwi et al., Fullerene Sci. & Techno. 1996, 4(5), 835.
[0021] Polycyclosulfated fullerene derivatives, F—(SO4)n, which can also be employed as an effective intermediate in this invention, can be prepared by reacting fullerene and neat fuming sulfuric acid in the presence of an oxidant (e.g., P2O5, V2O5, or SeO2). The structure of the product has been characterized to consist at least 4 cyclosulfated units.
[0022] Fullerene derivatives of this invention can be synthesized in general by reacting F—(NO2)nor F—(SO4)nwith a nucleophilic agent, E—H, (e.g., primary and secondary organoamino compound, alkoxide, organothiolate, organophenol compound, carbanion, organoamide anion, thiocarbamate ion, and the like) in a non-reactive solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran. A base may be needed in some reactions (see examples below) to produce a nucleophilic anion of E—H that is of enough strength to undergo the substitution reaction. Some examples of such a base include 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene (DBU, 1,5-diazabiacyc-[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBU), and lithium diisopropyl-amine (LDA).
[0023] Alternatively, fullerene derivatives of this invention can be prepared by reacting F—(NO2)nor F—(SO4)nwith a lithium salt of E—H, which is generated by reacting E—H with lithium triethylborohydride (Super-Hydride®) in tetrahydrofuran or other non-reactive solvents. Examples of lithium salts of E—H include, but are not limited to, lithium organoamino compounds, lithium organothiolate, lithium organophenol.
[0024] A fullerene derivative, e.g., F(—E), can further undergo nucleophilic replacement reactions with an agent, e.g., NaOH—H2O, to generate a hydroxylated fullerene derivative that may contain epoxide (—O—). See Examples 28 and 29 below. Similarly, an aminated fullerene derivative, e.g., F(—E)(NH2)pcan be prepared by treating a fullerene derivative, e.g., F(—E), with ammonia gas. See Examples 3 and 6 for procedures on reacting a fullerene derivative with ammonia gas. The number of E in a fullerene derivative can be adjusted by controlling the stoichiometry of the starting materials. Note that the symbol, n, used in each term does not necessary have the same number as the same symbol used in another term in this disclosure.
[0025] Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, based on the description herein, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The following specific examples are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever. All publications recited herein, including patents, are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Example 1
[0026] Preparation of Polynitro-fullerenes, C60(NO2)n
[0027] A two-necked reaction flask A (50 ml) was equipped with a vertical dropping funnel with a stopcock on one neck and a connecting gas bubbling tube on the other neck. The gas-bubbling tube was attached with a drying tube (CaCl2) and inserted into the second two-necked reaction flask B. The other neck of flask B was attached with a bubbling tube which was extended into a trapping flask containing aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2 N). To minimize the back-flow of moisture from alkaline solution, a drying tube (CaCl2) was installed in between the flask B and the trapping flask. A steady inert gas (N2) flow was allowed starting from the top of dropping funnel, through the reaction flasks A an B in sequence, into the alkaline solution in the trapping flask. The dropping funnel an the reaction flask A were charged with conc. HNO3(10 ml) and copper powder (10 g) respectively. In the reaction flask B was placed a solution of [60]fullerene (500 mg) in benzene (50 ml, dried over Na). The inert gas bubbling through the C60solution in the flask B was adjusted to a flow rate of 5 ml per min. The fullerene solution was deoxygenated for at least 5 min prior to the reaction. Conc. HNO3solution was then allowed to add dropwise into sodium nitrite solids in the flask A. Brown fume was produced immediately upon the contact of conc. HNO3with NaNO2. It was carried by the steady flow of N2and bubbled through the C60solution in the flask B. Within 15 min of reaction, the purple solution of C60was changed to orange-red progressively. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for an additional 2 h to give a dark brown-red solution with suspended solids. At the and of reaction, excessive nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was removed by N2bubbling and destroyed in the trapping solution. Benzene was then evaporated from the product solution at a reduced pressure to give dark brown solids. The solids were suspended in anhydrous n-hexane, separated from n-hexane solution by the centrifuge technique and dried in vacuum at 40° C. to afford brown solids of polynitrofullerene derivatives, C60(NO2)n(n=4-6 on average) (650 mg). IR νmax(KBr) 1572 [s, νas(N—O)], 1328 [s, νs(N—O)], 1085, 1038, 973, 815 (δ), 760, 733, 696, 545, and 466 cm−1. The product exhibits appreciable solubility in common organic solvents such as THF, DMF, CH2Cl2, CH3OH and DMSO.
Example 2
[0028] Synthesis of Polycyclosulfated Fullerenes, C60(SO4)n
[0029] A reaction flask (50 ml) charged with a fullerene mixture of C60(80%) and C70(20%) (1.0 g), an oxidant, and fuming sulfuric acid (15 ml) was stirred at 55-60° C. under N2for 5 min to 3 h to give a light brown solution with orange suspensions. The oxidant can be selected from either P2O5(6.0 g), V2O5(150 mg), or SeO2(700 mg). The resulting mixture was added dropwise into cold ice-water (200 ml) to cause the precipitation of products.
