This article focuses on the synthesis of Buckminsterfullerenes using a pair of Diels-Alder reactions involving C{sub 60} and the multiply unsaturated bisdienes 1 - 3. The achievement of a dumbbell-like structure may not be desirable for solubility, but controlled spacing of the spheres using 1,4-cyclohexadienyl in this manner will lead to other structure-function insights. 20 refs., 2 figs.
