Refluxing C{sub 60} together with glycine ethyl ester yields C{sub 60}(Me{sub 2}CHNHCHCOOEt) (1) while under photochemical activation, the major product is C{sub 60}(EtOOCCHNHCCOOEt) (2b). Photochemical activation of C{sub 60} in the presence of sarcosine esters gives C{sub 60}(CH{sub 2}N(Me)CHCOOR) (3) C{sub 60}(ROOCCHNHCHCOOR) (2) (R = Me, Et, CH{sub 2}Ph). The esters do not hydrolyze easily in mineral acid containing solutions.
