Abstract
The reaction of a number of nitrilium derivatives of the closo-decaborate anion with hexamethylene- and nonamethylenediamine has been studied. It has been shown that the process proceeds with the functionalization of both amino groups of the nucleophile to form amidines of the type (Bu4N)2[B10H9NH=C(R)NH (CH2)nNH(R)C=NHB10H9] (R = CH3, C2H5, nC3H7; n = 6, 9). Target compounds have been characterized by high resolution multinuclear NMR and ESI mass spectrometry.
