a simple way to the synthesis of mono- and disubstituted methoxy derivatives of closo- and nido-carboranes is suggested. C-methoxy- and C-methoxy-C’-methyl-ortho-carboranes were prepared by the treatment of C-hydroxy-ortho-carborane with iodomethane in the presence of sodium hydride in 1,2-dimethoxyethane. C,C’-dimethoxy-ortho-carborane was synthesized from C,C’-dihydroxy-ortho-carborane in the similar way. All methoxy derivatives of closo-carborane were converted to the corresponding nido-carboranes by the deboronation reaction with cesium fluoride. The tetrasubstituted cobalt bis(dicarbollide) complex K[1,1′(2′)-(MeO)₂–2,2′(1′)-Me₂–3,3′-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)₂] was prepared by the reaction of CoCl₂ and C-methoxy-C’-methyl-nido-carborane in the presence of t-BuOK in 1,2-dimethoxyethane.

提出了一种简单的合成closo-和nido-carboranes的单和双取代甲氧基衍生物的方法。通过在1,2-二甲氧基乙烷中的氢化钠存在下用碘甲烷处理C-羟基-邻-甲硼烷来制备C-甲氧基-和C-甲氧基-C′-甲基-邻甲硼烷。由C，C′-二羟基-原-甲硼烷以类似的方式合成C，C′-二甲氧基-原-甲硼烷。通过与氟化铯进行脱硼反应，可将closo-carborane的所有甲氧基衍生物转化为相应的nido-carboranes。四取代钴双（双糖脂）配合物K [1,1'（2'）-（MeO）₂ -2,2'（1'）-Me ₂ -3,3'-Co（1,2-C ₂ B ₉小时_10分）₂在1，2-二甲氧基乙烷中，在t-BuOK存在下，通过CoCl ₂和C-甲氧基-C'-甲基-氨基-碳烷的反应制备[ α]。
