1-Formyl-o-carborane

1-Formyl-o-carborane (CAS: 20394-07-4) is a special organoboron compound belonging to the class of formyl-substituted o-carborane derivatives, characterized by a stable ortho-carborane core (a closo-polyhedral structure consisting of 10 boron atoms and 2 carbon atoms) . It has a standardized chemical formula of C3H10B10O and a molecular weight of 162.20, with a formyl group (-CHO) covalently bonded to one of the carbon atoms of the ortho-carborane core at the 1-position. 1-Formyl-o-carborane (CAS: 20394-07-4) is a white to off-white crystalline powder, slightly soluble in water but soluble in polar organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, acetone and dichloromethane. It exhibits dual properties: the high thermal stability and chemical inertness of the o-carborane core, and the high reactivity of the formyl group (including condensation, oxidation, reduction and imination reactions) .
