title: Palladium catalyzed/silver tuned selective mono-/tetra-acetoxylation of o-carboranes via B-H activation.
abstract: A palladium catalyzed/silver tuned selective mono- and tetra-acetoxylation of o-carboranes has been developed, and a series of mono- and tetra-acetoxylated o-carboranes decorated with active groups have been synthesized with moderate to good yields as well as excellent selectivity. A mechanism involving electrophilic palladation and cyclopalladation of the B-H bond was proposed.
