Abstract
AbstractRhodium‐carbon bond cleavage represents an essential step for small molecule activation and transformation by rhodium porphyrin complexes. This article reports on a new method for the cleavage of porphyrin rhodium(III)‐carbon bonds in DMSO solvent with strong bases. UV‐Vis, in situ 1H NMR spectrum and GC‐MS analysis confirmed generation of rhodium(I) species and monodeuterated toluene. Mechanistic studies revealed that strongly reducing CD3SOCD2−, formed in situ from DMSO‐d6 and strong bases, promoted Rh‐C bond cleavage.
