Vertex-specific functionalization of carboranes has received considerable research interest, due to the valuable application carborane derivatives in medicine, coordination/organometallic chemistry and materials. In comparison with a protic cage C-H bond, B-H is hydridic generally less polar, bond dissociation energy ca. 108 kcal mol-1. These features make activation quite different from that bond. addition, selectivity among ten very similar BH vertices o-carborane challenging yet crucial effective construction carborane-based functional molecules. To address these issues, brand new strategy nucleophilic substitution recently been presented developed for straightforward regioselective functionalization. The regioselectivity can be controlled by electronic/steric properties carbon substituents. This Frontier article highlights recent advancement carboranes.

ConspectusCarboranes are a class of polyhedral carbon-boron molecular clusters featuring three-dimensional aromaticity, which often considered as 3D analogues benzene. Their unique structural and electronic properties make them invaluable building blocks for applications ranging from functional materials to versatile ligands pharmaceuticals. Thus, selective functionalization carboranes has received tremendous research interest. In earlier days, the vast majority works in this area were focused on cage carbon via facile deprotonation CH, followed by reaction with electrophiles. On contrary, B-H activation is very challenging since 10 bonds o-carborane similar, how achieve desired transformation at specific boron vertex long-standing issue.As more electronegative than boron, property results different charges cage, follow order B(3,6)-H ≪ B(4,5,7,11)-H < B(8,10)-H B(9,12)-H. We thought that difference may trigger favorite interaction proper transition metal complex bond carborane, could be utilized solve selectivity issue. Accordingly, our strategy described follows: (1) electron-rich catalysts good most electron-deficient (connected both C-H vertices); (2) relatively B(8,9,10,12)-H (with no bonding either (3) directing-group-assisted catalysis appropriate only one vertex), whose lie middle range bonds. This been successfully applied laboratory other groups development series synthetic routes catalytic carborane resulting synthesis large number cage-boron-functionalized derivatives regioselective fashion. Subsequently, significant progress emerging made.In 2013 we reported tetrafluorination o-carboranes using an Pd(II) salt, [Pd(MeCN)4][BF4], catalyst. 2014 disclosed first example carboxy-directed alkenylation B(4) promoted Ir(III) 2017 presented Ir(I)-catalyzed diborylation also uncovered Pd-catalyzed asymmetric chiral-at-cage 2018.

Carborane is a carbon-boron molecular cluster that can be viewed as 3D analog of benzene. It features special physical and chemical properties, thus has the potential to serve new type pharmacophore for drug design discovery. Based on relative positions two cage carbons, icosahedral closo-carboranes classified into three isomers, ortho-carborane (o-carborane, 1,2-C2B10H12), meta-carborane (m-carborane, 1,7-C2B10H12), para-carborane (p-carborane, 1,12-C2B10H12), all them deboronated generate their nido- forms. Cage compound carborane its derivatives have been demonstrated useful entities in antitumor medicinal chemistry. The applications carboranes field research mainly include boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), BNCT/photodynamic dual sensitizers, anticancer ligands.
