Abstract

Cyanuric chloride has been used as a scaffold for the synthesis of potential agents for BNCT containing a carborane cluster, a sugar moiety as hydrophilic arm and an amino acid for the con­jugation with bioactive molecules; this approach is, in principle, particularly suitable for a combinatorial approach.
