Pd-catalyzed selective tetrafunctionalization of diiodo- < em > o < /em > -carboranes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Jul 23. doi: 10.1039/d1cc03449a. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA palladium-catalyzed highly selective tetrafunctionalization of 3,6-I2-o-carborane and 4,7-I2-o-carborane has been developed, leading to the preparation of 3,6-dialkenyl-4,11-R2-o-carboranes and 4,7-dialkenyl-5,11-R2-o-carboranes (R = alkyl, allyl and aryl) in moderate to excellent yields. This represents a new strategy for selective synthesis of polyfunctionalized o-carborane derivatives via a one-pot process.PMID:34296721 | DOI:10.1039/d1cc03449a
