Metalloporphyrin-Catalyzed Decomposition of Ethyl Azidoformate
Ethyl azidoformate (2) was thermolyzed in the presence of metalloporphyrins.CoTPP accelerated the decomposition rate of 2 and resulted in the preferential formation of the hydrogen-abstraction product (urethane).On the other hand, NiTPP and CuTPP had no influence on the decomposition behavior of 2.
