Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling of BH and OH: synthesis of carborane-fused benzoxaboroles†
Abstract
A Pd-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling of BH and OH for the construction of cage B–O bonds has been developed, leading to a new class of 1,3- and 1,4-o-carboranobenzoxaborole derivatives. This represents a new route to C,B-carborane-fused heterocycles.
