The invention discloses a 3-substituted 
oxazole-fused caged dodecaborane compound, a preparation method and application thereof.  The structure of the 3-substituted 
oxazole fused caged dodecaborane compound is as shown in formula (I), and the R  1 Be menthyl or camphoryl; The R  2 for H, C  6‑20 
Aryl, C  1‑15 
Alkyl, ‑C(O)O‑C  1‑5 
Alkyl or ‑C(O)O‑C  6‑20 
Aryl, the C  6‑20 
Aryl is optionally replaced by 1, 2 or 3 H, F, Cl, Br, I, OH, NH  2 , NO  2 , CN, C  1‑5 
Alkyl, C  1‑5 Alkoxy, -O-C(O)-C  1‑5 Alkyl, ‑C(O)‑NH‑C  1‑5 Alkyl, ‑NH‑C(O)‑C  1‑5 Alkyl, ‑C(O)O‑C  1‑5 Alkyl, C  6‑20 Aryl or 5-12 membered heteroaryl substituted; said A  + For 
metal cations, 
quaternary ammonium cations or 
phosphorus cations.  The preparation method utilizes menthyl and camphoryl as a directing group, selectively activates the 3-position B-H bond, and prepares the compound of formula (I); the 
stereoselectivity is high, and the yield is good, which increases the chance of discovering new 
antibacterial drug candidates  .  The compound of formula (I) provided by the invention has high-efficiency and broad-spectrum antibacterial effects.
