Aminoalkyl carboranes are anticipated to be valuable synthons toward the synthesis of bifunctionalized carboranes. However, direct cage boron derivation of these carborane derivatives has not been solved. Herein, the reversible conversion of catalytically infeasible <i>o</i>-carboranyl methylamines (1-CH<sub>2</sub>NH<sub>2</sub>-<i>o</i>-carboranes) into bidentate imines initiates Pd-mediated cage B-H activation. As a result, an amine coordinated bicyclic Pd(ii) complex (<b>3</b>) has been isol ...[more]
