A convenient route to carbon-substituted derivatives of nido-5,6-C2B8H12

An alternative route to the parent nido-5,6-C2B8H12 dicarbaborane is reported together with a convenient synthesis of its carbon-substituted derivatives. The method is based on reactions between 4-(Me2S)-arachno-B9H13 and alkynes R1R2C2 (where R1R2 = H,H; Me, Me; Ph,H, and Ph,Ph) in toluene at reflux. The characteristic reaction mode is a dicarbon insertion into the 9-vertex arachno cluster to produce a series of the 5,6-R1R2-mdo-5,6-C2B8H10 species combined with concomitant elimination of one {BH} vertex. The products were characterised by high-field 1H and 11B NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry associated with [11B-11B]-COSY and 1H{11B(selective)} measurements that permitted complete assignments of all resonances to individual cluster {BH} units.
