Acidic hydrolysis of N-acyl 1-methyl- and 1-phenyl-3-amino-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes has been studied. It has been shown that acidic hydrolysis of diastereomeric amides of 1-methyl-3-amino-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane results in the partial racemization of the target 3-amino-1-methylcarborane. Under the similar conditions, the hydrolysis of N-acyl-3-amino-1-phenyl-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes resulted in amide bond cleavage accompanied by simultaneous deboronation with the removal of boron atom at position 6 of carborane cage and formation of 7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborane derivative according to 11B and 1H NMR spectroscopy.
