Palladium catalysed addition of 1-carboranyltributyltin to aldehydes
Abstract
The addition of o-carboranyltributyltin 1 to aldehydes 2 is catalysed by [Pd2(dba)3]·CHCl3, (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) giving the corresponding adducts, 1-(o-carboranyl)-1-methanol derivatives 3, in good to high yields.
