SYNTHESIS OF 9,12-o- AND 9,10-m-CARBORANYL-DITHIOLS AND -DISELENOLS FROM S2Cl2 OR Se2Cl2 AND o- AND m-CARBORANES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(84)80160-6

The synthesis of 9,12-o- and 9,10-m-C2H10B10(EH)2 (E = S, Se) from o- and m-carboranes and E2Cl2 in the presence of AlCl3 is described.The reactions of these compounds have been investigated, a number of derivatives have been obtained (thio- and seleno-alkoxides, cyclic thio- and seleno-acetals and ketals), and their 1H and 11B NMR spectra are reported.
