Notes:
Hydroboration of diethyl(1-propynyl)borane 1 with tetraethyldiborane(6) in the presence of a catalytic amount of trimethyl- or tributyltin chloride gave two new organo-substituted carboranes 6 and 7 with 2,3,5-tricarba-nido-hexaborane(7) and 2,3,4-tricarba-nido-hexaborane(7) skeletons, respectively, along with polymeric material and the known organo-substituted 1-carba-arachno-pentaborane(10) (3) and pentaethyl-1,5-dicarba-closo-pentaborane(5) (4). Selective 11B(5,6) decoupled 13C-NMR spectra indicate an unprecedented B(5)-ethyl-B(6) bridge in 7. This structure is supported by the agreement between experimental and calculated 11B- and 13C-chemical shifts on a model compound 7d with methyl groups in the 1,2,3,5,6-positions and an ethyl group bridging B(5) and B(6).
