Abstract

Abstract : The bis(tri‐ tert ‐butylphosphine)palladium(0) [Pd( t Bu3 P)2 ]‐catalyzed synthesis of fluorinated closo ‐carboranes from 3D aromatic iodo‐ closo ‐carboranes by nucleophilic halogen exchange using silver(I) fluoride is described. Fluorination of 2‐iodo‐ closo ‐ p ‐carborane proceeded more readily than that of 9‐iodo‐ closo ‐ m ‐carborane. Iodine–fluorine exchange at 9‐iodo‐ closo ‐ o ‐carborane was not successful yielding instead a charge‐compensated dibutylphosphonio nido ‐ o ‐carborane. The described methodology advances the understanding of nucleophilic fluorination at aromatic systems by Pd 0 /Pd II catalysis. With further optimization, it could find application in the synthesis of 18 F‐labeled carboranyl diagnostics for biomedical applications.
