ABSTRACT: Copper-catalyzed electrochemical direct chalcogenations of o-carboranes was established at room temperature. Thereby, a series of cage C-sulfenylated and C-selenylated o-carboranes anchored with valuable functional groups was accessed with high levels of position- and chemo-selectivity control. The cupraelectrocatalysis provided efficient means to activate otherwise inert cage C–H bonds for the late-stage diversification of o-carboranes. Copper-catalyzed electrochemical cage C–H chalcogenation of o-carboranes has been realized to enable the synthesis of various cage C-sulfenylated and C-selenylated o-carboranes.
