The cleavage of fullerene oxides with several aromatic amines such as 4-nitroaniline, 3-nitroaniline, 4-isopropylaniline in the present of $FeCl_3$ occurred under ultrasonic irradiation in air at $25{\sim}43^{\circ}C$. The aminated fullerenes were confirmed by MALDI-TOF-MS and UV-vis spectra.

Sonochemical reaction of fullerene oxides, $[C_{70}(O)_n](n\geq1)$ with several aromatic amines such as 4-nitroaniline, 3-nitroaniline, and 4-isopropylaniline, in the presence of $FeCl_3$ were investigated under ultrasonic irradiation. This method is applicable to a wide variety of aromatic amines especially ring deactivated, to afford the corresponding cleavage products under mild conditions. The aminated fullerenes were confirmed by MALDI-TOF-MS and UV-vis spectra.
