Abstract
The carbon-oxygen bond activation (COA) of epoxides with rhodium(II) and rhodium (III) porphyrins have been examined. RhIII(ttp)H (1) (ttp = 5,10,15,20-tetratolylporphyrinato dianion) was found to cleave the less sterically hindered carbon-oxygen bond of epoxides selectively at room temperature under neutral conditions to generate the stoichiometric COA product rhodium porphyrin β-hydroxyl alkyls in moderate to good yields.
