Abstract
A synthesis is described of the four C-halogenated 1-X-CB11H11- anions (X = I, Br, Cl, F) using N-halosuccinimides and N-fluorobis(benzenesulfonyl)amine as halogenating agents. The procedure yields only the desired product next to unreacted starting material. Regularities in the 11B and 13C NMR chemical shifts of singly halogenated icosahedral carboranes are summarized.
