The preparation of boronated triaryl and tetraaryl phosphonium salts of the type [PPh3CH2R]Br [R is 4-boronophenyl (1), 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-yl)phenyl (2), 3-boronophenyl (3), 3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-yl)phenyl (4), 2-boronophenyl (5), 2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-yl)phenyl (6), and closo-1,2-carboran-1-yl (7)] is described These compounds were prepared by the reaction of triphenyl-phosphine with benzylic bromides or 1-bromomethyl-closo-1, 2-carborane in acetonitrile solution at 85 C The zwitter-ionic nido-7,8-carborane derivative PPh3CH2C2B9H11 (8) was prepared by treatment of 7 with cesium fluoride in refluxing ethanol All compounds were fully characterized by multinuclear (H-1, B-11, C-13, and P-31) 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray structures were determined for compounds 1, 3, 7, and 8 The cytotoxicities and boron uptake of selected derivatives were investigated in vitro using human glioblastoma (T98G) and canine kidney tubule (MDCK II) cells The zwitterionic species 8 was found to be the least cytotoxic agent while also delivering the greatest amount of boron to the T98G cells, peaking at 9 15 +/- 2 65 mu g B/mg protein
