New hybrid fullerene–steroid derivatives were prepared by using the Bingel–Hirsch protocol, by treatment of [60]fullerene with malonates bearing the appropriate steroid moieties obtained, in turn, from the functionalization of epiandrosterone, an important naturally occurring steroid hormone. Monocycloadduct C60-steroid conjugates were obtained by functionalization of ring A or ring D of the steroid moiety. We have also described the multistep preparation of a [60]fullerene hybrid dumbbell endowed with two fullerene units connected through an epiandrosterone molecule by a cyclopropanation reaction. The new compounds have been spectroscopically characterized and their redox potentials, determined by cyclic voltammetry, reveal three reversible reduction waves for monocycloadducts (8, 9 and 11, 12), whereas dumbbell-type derivative 10 exhibits the best electron-accepting abilities of the Bingel-type fullerene–steroid series. Theoretical calculations at semiempirical (AM1) and single point B3LYP-D3/6-31G+(d,p) levels have predicted the most stable conformations for the hybrid compounds and allow explaining the observed regioselectivity in the cyclopropanation reaction with dimalonate 7 during the synthesis of the dumbbell derivative.

The first example of a practical and direct trifluoromethylthiolation reaction of unactivated aliphatic C-H bonds employs a silver-based reagent. The reaction is operationally simple, scalable, and proceeds under aqueous conditions in air. Furthermore, its broad scope and good functional-group compatibility were demonstrated by applying this method to the selective trifluoromethylthiolation of natural products and natural-product derivatives.
