Ring-opening and ring-expansion reactions of carborane-fused borirane
Hanqiang Wang, Jie Zhang, Zuowei Xie
Abstract
a concerted reaction mechanism as supported by DFT calculations. The results of this work not only enrich the reaction chemistry of boriranes, but also offer new routes to boron-containing compounds and heterocycles.
