Popis: Described is the Ir-catalyzed cage B(4)-amidation of o-carboranes with dioxazolones by carboxylic acid-assisted B(4)-H bond activation under extremely mild conditions, affording amidated o-carboranes and amidated and methoxycarbonylated nido-carboranes through sequential B(4)-amidation, O-methylation, and B(3)-deboronation in one pot. Carboxylic acid used as a directing group after the cage B(4)-amidation is efficiently trapped by trimethylsilyldiazomethane instead of undergoing decarboxylation. Mechanism studies demonstrated that the O-methylation through trapping of acid occurred first, followed by the B(3)-deboronation.
