Synthesis of Carborane-Modified Sugars and Nucleosides via Pd(II)-Catalyzed B-H Bond Activation.
Carborane-modified sugars and nucleosides are promising boron-delivery agents for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Accordingly, a series of carborane-based sugars and nucleosides have been successfully prepared. Nevertheless, current research on such compounds is mainly focused on carbon-site modification of carbo...
