Abstract

The data obtained by the authors in the field of carbon cluster chemistry, namely, the catalytic cycloaddition of diazo compounds of modern pharmacologically significant and natural compounds to C60-fullerene under the action of complex Pd–catalysts, are summarized. Cycloaddition reactions of diazoacetates, diazoamides, and diazoketones with C60-fullerene, catalyzed by Pd(acac)2–PPh3–Et3Al, with the selective formation of methano– and pyrazolinofullerenes, are new and promising classes of biologically active derivatives of C60-fullerenes.
