The Cu(OAc)2-promoted reaction of C60 with easily available primary amines allows the concise preparation of aziridinofullerenes. Both alkyl and aryl amines are suitable in this reaction. Moreover, the Cu(OAc)2-promoted reaction of C60 with diamines affords C60-fused cyclic 1,2-diaminated fullerenes.
