Iridium-catalysed regioselective borylation of carboranes via direct B–H activation

Functionalization of the multiple, similar, boron-hydrogen bonds in carboranes is difficult to achieve with selectivity. Here the authors report an iridium-catalysed borylation ofo-carboranes with high yields and regioselectivities.
