A method for the sequential fullerenylation of bis‐malonates with parent C 60 and C 2 v ‐symmetric pentakis‐adducts is reported. This approach relies on the finding that (a) chloromalonates can be used for the nucleophilic cyclopropanation of [6,6] double bonds of C 60 , and (b) chloromalonates, in contrast to bromomalonates, do not undergo base‐catalyzed halogen exchange reactions. For the proof of concept, we synthesized a heptafullerene by using a divergent approach based on a fullerene hexakis‐adduct with six bis‐malonate addends in octahedral positions, each of which is suitable for an additional cyclopropanation of a fullerene building block.
