title: C-H activation of arenes and heteroarenes by early transition metallaborane, [(Cp*Ta)2B5H11] (Cp* = η5-C5Me5).
abstract: C-H activation of arenes and heteroarenes has been achieved by a hydrogen rich tantalaborane cluster [(Cp*Ta)(2)B(5)H(11)] that leads to the formation of C-H functionalized products. Furthermore, we examined the reaction of substituted thiophene and pyrrole derivatives with tantalaborane which provided a convenient and efficient route to regio-defined C-H functionalized heteroarenes.
