Poly-iodinated closo 1,2-C 2 B 10 and nido [7,8-C 2 B 9 ] − carborane frameworks: Synthesis and consequences

Enlargement of a Modular System-Synthesis and Characterization of an s-Triazine-Based Carboxylic Acid Ester Bearing a Galactopyranosyl Moiety and an Enormous Boron Load

The amount of boron accumulated in tumor tissue plays an important role regarding the success of the boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In this article, we report a modular system, combining readily available starting materials, like glycine, 1,3,5-triazine and the well-known 9-mercapto-1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane(12), as well as α-d-galactopyranose for increased hydrophilicity, with a novel boron-rich tris-meta-carboranyl thiol.
