Development of functionalization methods for fullerenes is of significant importance for synthetic organic chemistry and materials science. In their Full Paper on page 91 ff., Satoshi Minakata and co‐workers report a straightforward and efficient synthetic method for producing oxazoline‐fused fullerenes, that is fullerooxazoles, from fullerenes with readily available carboxamides and a unique halogenating reagent, t BuOI, under mild reaction conditions. The synthetic reaction involves the visible‐light‐induced cleavage of NI bonds of the intermediate, which results in N , N ‐diiodoamides, as a key step.
