Abstract

Nucleophilic substitution at the exo-polyhedral boron atoms of claso-decaborate [B10H10]2- in the presence of carbocations, which were generated in situ from various halocarbons (triphe-nylmethyl chloride, 1-bromoadamantan, n-butyl bromide), was studied. The reactions carried out in nucleophilic solvents (cyclic ethers and thioethers, N,N-disubstituted amides, and car-boxylic acids) and in the presence of halocarbons afforded mono-and disubstituted compounds with the exo-polyhedral B—O and B—S bonds, which contained a molecule of the solvent as substituent. The structures of the compounds synthesized were confirmed by the IR, mass, and 1H, 11B, and 13C NMR spectra.
