Azaheterocyclic derivatives of 1,2-dicarba- closo -dodeca borane (ortho -carborane) are known to be of particular interest due to numerous plausible applications, particularly, in medicine, materials science, and advanced technologies. Three principal synthetic strategies resulting in azaheterocyclic carboranes, in which boron-enriched and azaheterocyclic fragments are linked to each other, either directly by means of the C-C bonds or through a short spacer (CH 2, CH 2 S, CH 2 O, etc.), have been outlined. These synthetic approaches are of general character and can be used both individually and in combination to afford promising organoboron clusters of diverse architectures. 1 Introduction 2 C-C Cross-Coupling Strategies in the Synthesis of Azahetero cyclic Carboranes 3 Carboryne-Based Transformation Strategies 4 Condensation Strategies: Reactions of Decaborane B 10 H 14 with Substituted Acetylenes 5 Conclusion and Outlook.
