Morpholine Adduct of C70 Fullerene: Sonochemical Synthesis and Mechanism

Abstract

For the first time, a monoadduct of fullerene C₇₀ with a condensed morpholine fragment was obtained in reaction with 2-aminoethanol in air in toluene/DMF medium at room temperature under the action of ultrasound. Based on ¹H, ¹³C NMR, and UV spectroscopy data, it was found that the morpholine derivative of C₇₀ is a 1,2-isomer. The reaction intermediate, the anion radical C^–•₇₀ (g = 2.0021 and ΔH = 2.6 G), which was obtained as a result of the electron transition from 2-aminoethanol to the C₇₀ framework, was recorded by the EPR method.
