Abstract

o-Carboryne (1,2-dehydro-o-carborane) generated in situ from the precursor 1-iodo-2-lithio-o-carborane reacts with 6,6′-diarylfulvenes to give a series of carboranonorbornadienes in moderate yields with excellent regioselectivity. The resultant [4+2] cycloadducts can be further derivatized, thus leading to the formation of a variety of highly functionalized carboranes. This study shows that such Diels–Alder reaction serves as a convenient method for the preparation of a new class of multifunctionalized o-carborane derivatives that might find applications in medicine and materials science.
