Abstract

Solvent‐free reactions of C60 and C70 with diethyl bromomalonate in the presence of various inorganic bases were investigated under the high‐speed vibration milling (HSVM) conditions, and are shown to give methanofullerenes 1 and 2 in good to excellent yields based on consumed fullerenes. Several weak inorganic bases were found to be quite effective in promoting the solvent‐free mechanochemical Bingel reactions of C60 and C70 under the HSVM conditions. Among the studied bases, sodium acetate gave the highest yield of monoadducts, while potassium carbonate afforded a considerable amount of bisadducts for both C60 and C70.
