Synthesis of functionalized carboranes as potential anticancer and BNCT agents

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Carboranyl aldehydes react with α,β-unsaturated esters, ketones, and nitriles in the presence of DABCO to provide functionalized carboranyl alcohols in good yields. Acetates of these alcohols undergo a facile isomerization with a variety of nucleophiles and afford structurally interesting carboranes. Biological evaluation of these molecules exhibited impressive antiproliferative activity for brain and breast cancer cells.
