Table 1. Reaction of nucleophiles with precursor 1 ^a .

^aReaction conditions: precursor 1 (0.1 mmol) was treated with nucleophile 2 (0.1 mmol for inorganic salt and phosphine oxide; 1.0 mmol for alcohol, acid and ketone; 0.4 mmol for Grignard reagent and lithium amide; nitriles were utilized as solvent) in CH₃CN solution for 5 min; yields of isolated products are given.

^bDeboronation occurred during purification.

^cCuCF₃ was prepared in situ from TMSCF₃, CuSCN and Cs₂CO₃ in acetonitrile.16

^d–78 °C, THF, 15 min.

^eThe only product was 3-F-C₂B₁₀H₁₁.

^f50 °C, 6 h.
