Synthesis of oxonium derivatives of the dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate anion [B12H12](2-). Tetramethylene oxonium derivative of [B12H12](2-) as a convenient precursor for the synthesis of functional compounds for boron neutron capture therapy
Ib. Sivaev et al., Synthesis of oxonium derivatives of the dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate anion [B12H12](2-). Tetramethylene oxonium derivative of [B12H12](2-) as a convenient precursor for the synthesis of functional compounds for boron neutron capture therapy, POLYHEDRON, 19(6), 2000, pp. 627-632
Direct synthesis of oxonium derivatives of the dodecahydro-closo-dodecabora
te anion is described and the reaction mechanism is discussed. Various deri
vatives of the [B12H12](2-) anion containing hydroxyl, amine, acid, and ami
no acid functions were prepared by ring opening reactions of the tetramethy
lene oxonium derivative [B12H11O(CH2)(4)](-) with different nucleophiles. T
his approach is suitable for the development of compounds to be used in tum
our selective boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and as linkers for the a
ttachment of radioactive halogen labels for radioimmunodetection and radioi
mmunotherapy. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd All rights reserved.
