Stage #2: fullerene-C60 In 1,2-dichloro-benzene at 180 – 200℃ for 20h Inert atmosphere

Experimental Procedure
250mL three-neck flask was added 1.57 g of (4.2 × 10-3mol) a14,0.23g (4.2 × 10-3mol) of sodium methoxide and 50g of pyridine.Magnetic stirring, is heated under a nitrogen atmosphere was heated to 75 , incubation after 15min, was added 1.5 g (2.1 × 10-3mol) C60And 60g of o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB), continuing the reaction at this temperature for 20h.Completion of the reaction, cooled to room temperature, the pressure to remove the solvent to give a brown solid 3.1g.Chromatography column purification to give 0.67g brown solid.Above 0.67g brown solid was added 50g of o-dichlorobenzene was dissolved, with magnetic stirring, heated to reflux for 18 h, the solvent removed under reduced pressure, purified by column chromatography to give 0.67g brown solid in 35percent yield.

Stage #1: 5-phenyl-5-(p-toluenesulfonylhydrazide)methyl pentanoate With tetra(n-butyl)ammonium hydroxide In water; 1,2-dichloro-benzene at 20℃ for 0.5h Inert atmosphere
Stage #2: fullerene-C60 In 1,2-dichloro-benzene at 110℃ for 2h Inert atmosphere Irradiation

Experimental Procedure
General procedure: Under Ar atmosphere, to a solution of tosylhydrazone (18.7 mg,0.050 mmol) in ODCB (2.0 mL) was added a solution of TBAH (1.0 M in H2O, 0.05 mL, 0.050 mmol) in H2O (1.95 mL), and themixture was stirred at r.t. for 0.5 h. A solution of C60 (36.0 mg,0.050 mmol) in ODCB was added to the mixture, and themixture was stirred (800–1000 rpm by magnetic stirrer),heated in an oil bath, and irradiated with a 375 W incandescentlamp for 2 h. During the irradiation, the oil bath temperaturewas kept at 105–115 °C by adjusting the distance between thelight source and the flask was approximately 15 cm. After thereaction, the layers were separated and the aqueous phase wasextracted with toluene (2 × 5 mL). The combined organic phasewas dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to 1 mL underreduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel columnchromatography [silica gel; 20 g, eluent; toluene for C60 andmonoadduct, toluene–CH2Cl2 (1:2) for bisadducts], and theobtained [6,6]PC61BM (1a) was dissolved in a small amount oftoluene and transferred to a 50 mL centrifuge tube. MeOH (ca.30 mL) was added, and the mixture was immersed in an ultrasoundbath for 1 min, the suspension was centrifuged (4000rpm, 30 min), the supernatant was decanted, and the residuewas treated with MeOH in the same manner. The product wasdried in vacuo at 60 °C. [6,6]PC61BM (1a, 23.5 mg, 0.026 mmol,52percent) was obtained as brown powder. Unreacted C60 (7.8 mg,0.011 mmol, 22percent) and bisadducts (10.9 mg, 0.010 mmol, 20percent)were isolated in the same manner.
