The structures of derivatives of phenyl-ortho-carborane bearing on the second cage hypercarbon atom a pi-donor substituent (F, OH, O-, NH2, NH- and CH2-) were investigated by NMR, X-ray crystallography and computational studies. The molecular structu...

The structures of 1-Me-2-COOH-1,2-closo-C2B10H10 (1), 1-Ph-2-COOH-1,2-closo-C2B10H10 (2) and 1-Ph-2-COPh-1,2-closo-C2B10H10 (3) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. In 1 the orientation of the COOH group is defined by theta(COOH) = 65.0(2)(...

Two contrasting ethynyl hydroboration pathways in the formation of a novel tris-hydroboration product from reaction of dimesitylborane with 2,5-diethynylpyridine (2004)
Journal Article
Entwistle, C. D., Batsanov, A. S., Howard, J. A. K., Fox, M. A., & Marder, T. B. (2004). Two contrasting ethynyl hydroboration pathways in the formation of a novel tris-hydroboration product from reaction of dimesitylborane with 2,5-diethynylpyridine. Chemical Communications, 2004(6), 702-703. https://doi.org/10.1039/B316250H

Reaction of 2,5-diethynylpyridine with dimesitylborane, [(Mes)(2)BH](2) (Mes = mesityl = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2), gave the unexpected tris-hydroboration product 1-{(Mes)(2)B)-2-[Z-1-((Mes)(2)B)ethylidene]-5-[E-{(Mes)(2)B)vinyl]-1,2-d ihydropyridine, which has...
