The article provides an overview of the work on regio- and, in the occurrence, stereoselective tether-directed remote functionalization of fullerenes in the Diederich group, from the initial stages in 1994 to the present. All bisaddition patterns of C 60 , except cis -1, have been realized with high selectivities, mainly by Bingel-type macrocyclizations. Particular emphasis is placed on the stereoselective generation of the inherently chiral cis -3, trans -3, and trans -2 addition patterns. Besides, one of the rare examples of direct threefold tether-directed cyclopropanation of C 60 is presented and the spacer-controlled derivatization of C 70 is reviewed. .
