PREPARATION AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE DICARBORANYLMAGNESIUM BIS(DIOXANE) ADDUCT Mg(2-Me-1,2-C2B10H10)2*2C4H8O2

The preparation of Mg(2-Me-1,2-C2B10H10)2*2C4H8O2 from the carboranyl Grignard reagent RMgBr (R = the methyl-ortho-carboranyl residue, 2-Me-1,2-C2B10H10) by a dioxane-induced disproportionation reaction is described.An X-ray crystallographic study of the product has revealed a monomeric molecular structure R2MgL2 (L=1,4-dioxane, C4H8O2) in which the carboranyl groups and dioxane ligands provide the central magnesium atom with a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere of two carbon and two oxygen atoms, with bond lengths Mg-C 2.156(5) Angstroem, Mg-O 2.038(8) Angstroem and bond angles CMgC 123.5(4) deg, OMgO 99.5(5) deg, distortions from regular tetrahedral angles attributable to the relative bulk of the carboranyl ligands.

The preparation and characterization of several meso-tetracarboranylporphyrins

Several meso-tetracarboranylporphyrins were prepared and characterized. A Rothemund condensation designed to give a 1,2-C2B10H11 meso substituent (R) was not successful, but with R = 1-CH2-1,2-C2Bsub

Rhodium-Catalyzed Regioselective Hydroxylation of Cage B?H Bonds of o-Carboranes with O2or Air

A rhodium-catalyzed hydroxylation of a cage B4?H bond in o-carboranes with either O2or air as the oxygen source is described, and serves as a new methodology for the regioselective generation of a series of 4-OH-o-carboranes in a one-pot process. The use of either O2or air as both the oxidant and the oxygen source makes this protocol very environmentally friendly and practical.

Transition Metal Catalyzed Direct Amination of the Cage B(4)-H Bond in o-Carboranes: Synthesis of Tertiary, Secondary, and Primary o-Carboranyl Amines

Transition metal catalyzed regioselective amination of the cage B(4)-H bond in o-carboranes has been achieved for the first time using O-benzoyl hydroxylamines or organic azides as the amination reagents, leading to the preparation of a series of tertiary and secondary carboranyl amines. Both amination reactions proceeded under mild conditions without the addition of any external oxidants. Hydrogenolysis of the resultant product 4-N(CH2Ph)2-o-carborane afforded the primary carboranyl amine, 4-amino-o-carborane, in quantitative yield.

Light-enabled alkenylation of iodocarboranes with unactivated alkenes

The synthesis of alkenylated-o-carboranesviaphotoalkenylation of iodocarboranes with unactivated alkenes has been achieved. This strategy features a transition metal-free protocol, a light-promoted reaction under mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Control experiments suggest that the reaction may involve the cage C-centered radical species.

A facile access to mono-C-alkynylated-o-carboranes from o-carboranes and arylsulfonylacetylenes

A facile access to mono-C-alkynyl-o-carboranes from o-carboranes and arylsulfonylacetylenes was developed. This facile process tolerates a wide variety of functional groups, occurs at mild conditions in one-pot procedure with short reaction time. The obtained mono-C-alkynyl-o-carboranes can be easily derivatized to synthesize 1,2-difunctionalized o-carboranes. This work provides a useful tool for the functionalization of o-carboranes.

Formal insertion of o-carborynes into ferrocenyl C-H bonds: A simple access to o-carboranylferrocenes

Insertion of o-carborynes (1,2-dehydro-o-carboranes) into ferrocenyl C-H bonds has been described, providing a convenient methodology for the preparation of functionalized ferrocenyl o-carboranes. Reaction of the carboryne precursors 1-I-2-Li-9,12-Me2-1,2-C2B10H8 or 1-I-2-Li-3-R-1,2-C2B10H9 (R = H, Ph, Me, Cl, Br, and I) with 2.5 equiv of ferrocene at 80 °C in cyclohexane afforded [1-(η5-C5H4)(9,12-Me2-1,2-C 2B10H9)]Fe(η5-C 5H5) and [1-(η5-C5H 4)(3-R-1,2-C2B10H10)] Fe(η5-C5H5) (R = H, Ph, Me, Cl, Br, and I) in 19-44% isolated yields. On the other hand, in addition to the desired C-H bond insertion products [1-(η5-C5H4)(3-X-1, 2-C2B10H10)]Fe(η5-C 5H5), bis(ferrocenyl)-o-carboranes 1,2- [(η5-C5H5)Fe(η5-C 5H4)]2-3-X-1,2-C2B 10H9 were isolated from the reactions of 1-I-2-Li-3-X-1,2-C2B10H9 (X = Cl, Br, and I) in 12%, 15%, and 8% yields, respectively. Treatment of 1,2-dilithio-o-carborane or 1-lithio-2-methyl-o-carborane with ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate in cyclohexane also generated [1-(η5-C5H 4)(1,2-C2B10H11)] Fe(η5-C5H5) and [1-(η5- C5H4)(2-Me-1,2-C2B10H 10)]Fe(η5-C5H5) in 17% and 31% isolated yields, respectively. On the basis of these observations, it is suggested that the single-electron oxidation of ferrocene to the electrophilic ferrocenium cation by o-carborynes is crucial for the insertion reaction. Accordingly, a reaction mechanism is proposed.

Palladium/nickel-cocatalyzed cycloaddition of 1,3-dehydro-o-carborane with alkynes. Facile synthesis of C,B-substituted carboranes

o-Carboryne (1,2-dehydro-o-carborane) has been reported as a very reactive intermediate and regarded as a three-dimensional relative of benzyne, whereas the 1,3-dehydro-o-carborane has remained elusive. In this article, we present the preparation of 1,3-dehydro-o-carborane from 3-iodo-1-lithio-o-carborane mediated by palladium(0). This reactive intermediate can be trapped by alkynes via Pd/Ni-cocatalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, leading to the formation of C,B-substituted-o-carborane derivatives. The possible reaction mechanism involving the formation of metal-1,3-dehydro-o-carborane followed by stepwise insertions of 2 equiv of alkyne and reductive elimination is proposed, and the relative reactivity of M-C versus M-B bond in metal-1,3-dehydro-o- carborane complexes is also discussed. This work offers a new methodology for B-functionalization of carboranes and demonstrates that metal-1,3-dehydro-o- carborane can be viewed as a new kind of boron nucleophile.
