(Chemical Equation Presented) A nonclassical carbon atom of a dicarbaborane is converted into a classical carbon atom, and the substituent increases in length by one CH2 group (see scheme). This is the path followed to form [1-Me-6-Et-1-closo-CB9H8]- regioselectively from [1,2-Me2-1,2-closo-C2B 10H10]. First, the o-carborane derivative is reduced to [7-Me-μ-(9,10-HMeC)-7-nido-CB10H11]-, and then a carbon-atom extrusion followed by selective deboronation takes place.
