TL;DR: A series of cage penta-arylated carboranes have been synthesized by palladium-catalyzed intermolecular coupling of the C-carboxylic acid of the monocarba- closo-dodecaborate anion with iodoarenes by direct cage B-H bond functionalization, setting a record in terms of one-pot directing group-mediated activation of inert bonds in a single molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI
B-H functionalization of the monocarba-closo-dodecaborate anion by rhodium and iridium catalysis
TL;DR: The regioselective derivatization of the monocarba-closo-dodecaborate anion via catalytic B-H bond activation through rhodium and iridium catalysts through spectroscopic methods as well as X-ray crystallography is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly selective palladium-catalyzed one-pot, five-fold B-H/C-H cross coupling of monocarboranes with alkenes.
TL;DR: Palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative B-H/C-H cross coupling of monocarborane anions with alkenes is reported, allowing for the isolation of selectively penta-alkenylated boron clusters as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusing Carborane Carboxylic Acids with Alkynes: 3D Analogues of Isocoumarins via Regioselective B−H Activation
TL;DR: An iridium-catalyzed alkenylation/annulation sequence between monocarba-closo-dodecaborate carboxylic acids and diarylacetylenes is reported, which tolerates a variety of functional groups on the aromatic rings and can be extended to B12-substituted derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and full characterization of an iridium B-H activation intermediate of the monocarba-closo-dodecaborate anion.
TL;DR: The preparation and full characterization of an iridium complex of the monocarba-closo-dodecaborate anion is reported, which was prepared by B-H bond activation using a tosyl amide directing group and investigated by DFT calculations.
