Lyu, Hairong published the artcileCatalytic Regioselective Cage B(8)-H Arylation of o-Carboranes via “Cage-Walking” Strategy, Safety of Tetrakis(acetonitrile)palladium(II) Ditriflate, the publication is Journal of the American Chemical Society (2019), 141(10), 4219-4224, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
A proof-of-concept example of catalytic regioselective cage B(8)-H functionalization of o-carboranes was disclosed for the 1st time. Under the help of an acylamino directing group at cage B(3), B(8)-arylated, B(4,7,8)-triarylated and B(4,7,8)-trifluorinated o-carborane derivatives were conveniently prepared From isolation of a key intermediate, D labeling experiments and DFT calculations, a reaction mechanism involving a high-valent Pd induced cage-walking from B(4) to B(8) vertex is proposed to account for the regioselective B(8)-H activation.
