A novel approach to ortho-carborane by decarboranylation of 1-(isopropyl benzoate)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Abstract A novel approach was successfully developed for the synthesis of ortho-carborane [1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane(12)] by reaction of 1-(isopropyl benzoate)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane with KOH in methanol at 20 C. A decarboranylation in base of the first formed alcoholysis intermediate product 1-(2-propanol)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane was suggested for this process.
