Abstract

Not an oxygen‐bridged annulene (structural type 1) but rather an epoxide (structural type 2) is the product of the reaction of dimethyldioxirane with C₆₀. In a competing reaction, a 1,3‐dioxolane (structural type 3) is formed—probably by a diradical mechanism. Cleavage of acetone from 3 leading to 2 was not observed at temperatures up to 110°C. Compound 3 could provide access to ring‐opened fullerenes. (Figure Presented.)
