Functionalization of fullerenes can be achieved inexpensively by Friedel–Crafts reaction. For instance, treatment of [60]fullerene with AlCl3 in toluene gave mono-, di-, and tritolyltrihydro[60]fullerenes in moderate to good yields (see scheme). The structures of the products were determined by crystallography and derivatization.
