HCl in anhydrous butyl ether byproducts: H2, n-(C4H9)2O; Pyrolizing of B9H13*OBu2.;

methyl-magnesium iodide in diethyl ether byproducts: CH4, MgClI, C2H5I; addn. of B10H14 soln. to Grignard reagent (O. degree.C, 2 min), then addn. of 6-chlorodecaborane (0°C), refluxing (12 h); removal of volatiles (0.01 mm Hg, 25 - 40°C, 12 h), chromy. (silica gel/hexane : benzene = 75 : 25);

in neat (no solvent) (inert atmosphere); react. of boranate with dimethyldichlorosilane;

in acetonitrile-D3 Electrolysis; detected by NMR-expt. and by mass spectra;;

in acetonitrile Electrochem. Process; the anode compartment of the electrochemical cell was charged with (NBu(n)4)(B9H12) (1.0 mmol) dissolved in MeCN; the cathode compartment contained a soln. of (NBu(n)4)(BF4) in MeCN;; the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the solid examd. by t.l.c. on silica (CH2Cl2 eluant);;
