A new method for the functionalization of fullerenes based on the reaction between in situ generated aryl- or hetaryl-containing 1,3,5-perhydrotriazines and EtMgBr in the presence of Ti(Oi-Pr)4 has been developed. The cleavage of the triazine ring under previously developed conditions1-6 results in the formation of aminomethylated derivatives of fullerene C60 with high yields (80-90%) and selectivity (∼90%).
