Abstract
The reaction of decaborane with trimethylsilyldiazomethane gives 1, 2-bis (trimethylsilyl)-1, 2-carba-closo-dodecaborane(12). This compound is similar to the icosahedral cage structure of o-carborane. This formation of the first adduct proceeds through deprotonation of the acidic center of B(9) and B(6) by intermolecular attack by the lone electron pair of the carbene, : CHSiMe$_3$. The yield of product is influenced by irradiation and thermal conditions.
