Abstract
An efficient, mild, and one-step methodology for the conversion of tin-corroles to the corresponding free base corroles has been developed. The Grignard reagent, namely, methylmagnesium chloride, is responsible for the facile demetalation of tin-corroles. In an optimized reaction, almost complete destannation is observed using methylmagnesium chloride in a representative corrolato-Sn(IV)-chloride complex. This particular protocol has also been proven to be versatile on a wide variety of corrolato-Sn(IV)-chloride substrates. Similar Grignard reagents, namely, methyl/phenylmagnesium bromides, however, failed to perform the desired demetalation reaction and rather resulted in the usual σ-methyl/phenyl complexes in good yields. In addition to two novel σ-phenyl complexes and three novel σ-methyl complexes, one new A3-corrole and one new corrolato Sn(IV)chloride have also been synthesized. All the complexes have been thoroughly characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, including single-crystal X-ray s...
