Abstract
The weakly coordinating [B12Cl12]2- originates from a family of
carboranes typically reserved for application in coordination chemistry. Here,
we show its readily accessible Ag(I) salt, [Ag]2[B12Cl12],
can be used as a catalyst in the PhICl2 mediated chlorination of
arenes, alkenes, and alkynes. The promising activity displayed by [Ag]2[B12Cl12]
over a variety of commercially available Ag(I) sources merits its incorporation
to the toolkit of commonly screened silver catalysts in synthesis.
