utilized as the alkylating reagents to conveniently access rhodium porphyrin alkyl complexes in up to 91% yields under basic conditions. Mechanistic investigations suggest two possible pathways for the C–O bond cleavage: (1) nucleophilic substitution with rhodium(I) porphyrin anion and (2) a borrowing hydrogen pathway via rhodium(III) porphyrin hydride.
