Synthesis and Reactivity of ortho-Carbaborane-Containing Chiral Aminohalophosphines
Syntheses of chiral ortho-carbaboranyl bis(aminohalophosphines) are presented, and their reactivity toward alcoholysis is described. Quantum chemical calculations showed that strong P center dot center dot center dot P interactions extremely lower the rate of the methanolysis.
