Abstract
1-Alkyl-2-methoxymethyl-o-carboranes are easily metalated with n-butyl lithium in an ether-benzene solution to form carbenoid 1-alkyl-2-lithi ummethoxymethyl-o-carboranes, which are stable at room temperature. Un der the action of H2O, CO2, and PhCHO these lithium carboranes yield t he starting compounds, carboxylic acids, and benzyl alcohols, respecti vely.
