摘要
In strongly basic media, the [nido-B11H14](-) anion reacts with the haloforms. Dehydrogenation to [closo-B11H11](2-) is the only reaction observed with iodoform. With chloroform and bromoform, the cage is expanded by dihalocarbene insertion. The dominant products are the [closo-CB11H12](-) and the [2-Br-closo-CB11H12](-) anion, respectively. The chief side product is the [closo-B11H11](2-) anion, which results from dehydrogenation of the starting material. It was identified by B-11 NMR spectroscopy and isolated after acidic aqueous workup in the form of the [nido-7-OH-B11H13](-) anion. Since the starting [nido-B11H14] anion is available from NaBH4 and BF3. Et2O in 50% yield, its conversion to [closo-CB11H12](-) with chloroform and base in a 40% yield represents a useful laboratory route to the numerous known but previously very expensive derivatives of [closo-CB11H12](-), highly prized for their very low nucleophilicity.
