Hypervalent iodine reagent mediated diamination of [60]fullerene with sulfamides or phosphoryl diamides.

A hypervalent iodine-promoted intermolecular diamination reactions of C60 with sulfamides or phosphoryl diamides affords two classes of novel C60-fused cyclic sulfamide or phosphoryl diamide derivatives. The reaction between C60 and sulfamides can be effectively controlled to selectively synthesize diamination products or azafulleroids under PhIO/I2 or PhI(OAc)2/I2 conditions, respectively. Moreover, phosphoryl diamides were first used as an amine source in the diamination of alkenes.
