Abstract
The sodium salt of [B12H12](2-) dianion reacts with carboxylic acid ha lides to give a mixture of B-acylated product [B12H11COR](2-) and an u nstable intermediate, the latter undergoing hydrolysis to form [B12H11 OH](2-). The ratio of the products formed depends on the nature of the radical R. The reaction mechanism was studied by NMR spectroscopy. A number of novel [B12H11COR](2-) compounds were synthesized; their stru ctures were confirmed by NMR and IR spectral data.
