The conversion of the [60]fullerene-fused lactones to ketones with triflic anhydride as an unusual reductant under aerobic conditions has been achieved in excellent yields. The present thermal retro Baeyer-Villiger reaction from lactones to ketones has no precedents. In addition, the unique ring-opened peroxy [60]fullerene derivatives can be obtained by the electrochemical reactions of the synthesized [60]fullerene-fused ketones.
