Synthesis of Diazonium Derivatives of B10H10(2-) from Arylazo Intermediates.

Abstract

Thermal decomposition of protonated arylazo derivatives of B10H10(2-) produce diazonium derivatives of B10H10(2-) plus the arene. A mechanism is suggested which involves electrophilic attack by a proton on the phenyl carbon atom bonded to the azo nitrogen atom. The general utility of this reaction is illustrated by the preparation of a variety of polyhedral B10(-) derivatives.
