1,2-closo-dodecaboranes synthesized from alkynyl-substituted thiouracils are potentially useful as boron neutral capture therapy agents. This work describes the synthesis, purification, and characterization of these compounds. NMR and IR spectroscopies were used to structurally characterize the products.
