o-Carboryne is a useful synthon for the synthesis of carborane-functionalized molecules, undergoing efficient cycloaddition reactions with various conjugated enynes. The reaction generates carborane-fused tricyclic compounds in moderate to high yields, providing a convenient strategy for the construction of complex carborane-functionalized molecules.
o-Carboryne (1,2-dehydro-o-carborane) is a very useful synthon for the synthesis of a variety of carborane-functionalized molecules. With 1-Li-2-OTf-o-C2B10H10 as the precursor, o-carboryne undergoes an efficient [4 + 2] cycloaddition with various conjugated enynes, followed by a subsequent [2 + 2] cycloaddition at room temperature, generating a series of carborane-fused tricyclo[6.4.0.0(2,7)]dodeca-2,12-dienes in moderate to high isolated yields. This reaction is compatible with many functional groups and has a broad substrate scope. A reactive carborane-fused 1,2-cyclohexadiene intermediate is involved, which is supported by experimental results and DFT calculations. This protocol offers a convenient strategy for the construction of complex carborane-functionalized tricyclics.
