bonded directly to the cluster carbon[ Its coupling
constant of 5[49 Hz\ which corresponds to one of the
coupling constants found in the resonance at d
2[64 ppm\ allows for the identi_cation of these
protons\ as well as those at d 2[64 ppm\ which is a
triplet of doublets[ The coupling constant of the doub!
lets is 4[19 Hz\ which corresponds to the coupling con!
stant found for the resonance at d 2[09 ppm\ assigned
to the alcoholic proton[ The singlet at d 3[36 ppm is
due to the CH1 group in the phthalimide unit[ The
down_eld multiplet of area four is due to the phenyl
group in the compound[ The 02C NMR shows a total
of nine peaks\ which the number of resonances
expected for compound 5[
The IR spectral data shows the expected OH stretch
at 2333 cm−0\ as well as the expected BH and C1O
stretches in the normal regions[
The 00B NMR data\ as mentioned earlier consists
of four peaks\ of relative intensities 0]0]3]3[ The signals
observed are not the expected pattern of signals for a
compound of this type\ but similarly hetero!
disubstituted compounds had shown the same type of
pattern in the 00B NMR spectra ð31\ 32Ł[ The coinci!
dental overlap of resonances in the 00B NMR time
scale is not unprecedented\ a relevant example for the
observation of this type of pattern in the 00B NMR
spectrum is 0!phenyl!1!methyl!0\ 1!dicarba!closo!
dodecaborane "01# ð30Ł\ which is also a bifunctionally
substituted ortho!carborane[
With the isolation of compound 5\ the goal of pre!
paring an amino acid ortho!carborane derivative is
in principle possible[ Unfortunately\ all attempts to
isolate this compound have proven unsuccessful at
this time[ Although there is some evidence that upon
deprotection of the phthalimide group and oxidation
of the alcohol\ a compound that could possibly be the
amino acid carborane is formed\ its isolation has not
been possible[ The conditions upon which the depro!
tection is being carried out might be too harsh and
unwanted side reactions could be taking place[ We
are continuing to investigate alternate routes for the
preparation of the amino acid carborane and the
results from this e}ort will be reported in the future[
