Mn(OAc)3 x 2H2O is an excellent reagent to promote free radical reactions of C60. C60 reacted with various methylene active compounds, methyl ketones, beta-enamino carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acid derivatives, and diallylamines in the presence of Mn(OAc)3 x 2H2O to afford singly-bonded fullerene dimers, 1,4-bisadducts and 1,16-bisadducts of C60, C60-fused dihydrofuran derivatives, methanofullerenes, C60-fused pyrroline derivatives, C60-fused lactone derivatives, and C60-fused pyrrolidine derivatives. Mn(OAc)3 x 2H2O was successfully employed to transform ArC60-H into ArC60-OAc.
