Aa. Semioshkin et al., SYNTHESIS AND NMR-SPECTRA OF THE HYDROXYUNDECAHYDRO-CLOSO-DODECABORATE [B12H11OH](2-) AND ITS ACYLATED DERIVATIVES, Russian chemical bulletin, 45(3), 1996, pp. 683-686
Tetrabutylammonium hydroxyundecahydro-closo-dodecaborate was obtained
in high yield via [B(12)H(11)NMP](-)(NMP = N-methylpyrrolidone) by the
modified method. [B12H11OH](2-) is easily acylated by aromatic acyl c
hlorides to give novel compounds [B12H11OCOAr](2-) in high yields. All
the compounds were characterized by standard and special NMR methods.
