Facile Aerobic Alkylation of Rhodium Porphyrins with Alkyl Halides
Alkylation of rhodium porphyrins
was achieved in moderate to high
yields in the presence of air and water. With this facile alkylation
method, various alkyl Rh<sup>III</sup>(por) species, including those
with tertiary alkyl, were synthesized. Mechanistic investigations
suggest a parallel S<sub>N</sub>2 via [Rh<sup>I</sup>(ttp)]<sup>−</sup> with halogen atom transfer pathway via [Rh<sup>II</sup>(ttp)]<sup>•</sup>
