Iminoacylation Reaction of Iodoaniline with [2-B10H9NCCH3]– Anion as a Route to the Preparation of New Boron-Containing Synthons

Abstract

The reaction of nucleophilic addition of isomers of iodaniline to the nitrile derivative of the closo-decaborate anion has been studied. The structures of the products have been determined using multinuclear NMR and IR spectroscopy, as well as ESI mass spectrometry. The structure of compound (NBu₄)[2-B₁₀H₉NHC(CH₃)HN(2-C₆H₄I)] was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
