The great escape! In the transition of (Me2S)B9H13 into (RH2N)B8H11NHR, one boron atom is lost. Boron-substituted derivatives of (Me2S)B9H13 were used to identify this boron atom, which turned out to be firmly integrated in the starting cluster (see scheme). A pathway for the conversion is proposed.
