A practical method for the synthesis of polyols of a cascade type, as a water-solubilizing element of car-borane derivatives for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), was developed. The carborane attached to the tetraol 6a was dissolved in water in a concentration of 5.44 M.Poor solubility in aqueous or biological media has been an obstacle to the effective delivery of potentially useful boron compounds to the tumor site. In the case of car-boranes, conversion to the corresponding nido structures, 1 which may be isolated as sodium or potassium salts, has been used to prepare more soluble derivatives. However, a satisfactory level of solubility is not always achieved, and other sensitive groups in the molecule do not always sur-vive the relatively severe reaction conditions for nidostructure formation. Furthermore, the stability of nido compounds in vivo is not well documented, and their ionic character suggests that interaction with reactive centers is highly probable. The nonpolar carboranes, on the other hand, are protected from such interactions to a large extent by the lipophilic character of the cage. There is, therefore, a need for nonionic water-soluble carborane derivatives that has generated increased interest in the synthesis of boron carriers to which carbohydrate or other polar, hydrophilic, functional groups are attached. Such compounds include hydroxyalkylated carborane* 1s, 2 glycosyl carboranes, 3 carboranyl porphyrins 56, 4
