New approaches to the functionalization of the 1-carba-closo-decaborate anion

Two new approaches to the functionalization of the 1-carba-closo-decaborate anion [1-CB9H10](-) at boron atoms via the ring-opening of its 1,4-dioxane derivative with various nucleophiles and Pd-catalysed cross-coupling of its iodo derivative with aromatic amines and heteroaromatics were developed.
