Abstract
A series of derivatives of coumarin (2H-chromen-2-one) and 6,7-benzocoumarin (3H-benzo-[f]chromen-3-one) carrying the o-carborane, m-carborane, and dodecaborate clusters, has been obtained. X-ray structure analysis has been carried out for three of the products. The addition of o-carborane occurs in the 4-position of the coumarin ring, in a stereoselective way, independent of whether the cluster was reacted as the lithium or magnesium salt. m-Carborane gives two products, one being the result of 1,2-addition to an exocyclic ester bond and 1,4-addition to the coumarin system, the other resulting from 1,4-addition. The negatively charged dodecaborate derivatives obtained, link the cluster via oxygen or sulfur and an appropriate linker to a 7-hydroxy-substituted coumarin. For the coumarin derivatives, an o-carboranecarbonyl derivative could also be obtained.
