We report the one-pot reactions of the 16e鈥?/sup> half-sandwich complex CpCoS2C2B10H10 (1), methyl propiolate, and 3e鈥?/sup>-donor ligands, which lead to selective B-functionalization at carborane with cyclopentadienyl as a functional group at ambient temperature in good yields. Metal-promoted activations of both a B鈥揌 bond of the carborane and a C鈥揌 bond of the Cp unit take place sequentially in the cooperation of organic ligands. The reaction requires a 3e鈥?/sup>-donor ligand and an activated alkyne and is therefore suitable for a broad range of substrates. This investigation provides a simple and efficient synthetic route to B-functionalized carborane derivatives.
