• in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 gave the carbonyl compounds 15a–k which were treated with p-toluenesulfonylhydrazine to afford the hydrazones 16a–k. Treatment of 16a–k with sodium methoxide or LiHMDS in o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) gave a mixture of isomeric diarylmethanofullerenes. After purification

• shifts of bridging units. It is well known that [5,6]fulleroid has low solubility and is thermodynamically unstable; hence, it cannot be used in a photovoltaic device. However, except for 2b, the thienyl-substituted hydrazones 2a, 2c, and 2d yielded only [6,6]methanofullerenes. The hydrazone 2b yielded a

[9] A general route to prepare 5,10-dihydro-[1,2,4]-triazolo-[5,1-b]-quinazolines included the reaction of benzophenone and 1-ureidoethylidene-hydrazones with a mixture of triphenylphosphine, carbon tetrachloride, and triethylamine in dichloromethane.
