Alkyl Carbon-Oxygen Bond Cleavage of Aryl Alkyl Ethers by Iridium-Porphyrin and Rhodium-Porphyrin Complexes in Alkaline Media

Alkyl C-O bond cleavage in aryl alkyl ethers was achieved with Rh(ttp)Cl (1a; ttp = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(p-tolyl)porphyrinato dianion) together with competitive alkyl C-H bond activation in alkaline media. In contrast, selective alkyl C-O bond cleavage occurred with the iridium-porphyrin Ir(ttp)(CO)Cl (1b)/KOH. Mechanistic investigations indicate the coexistence of MI(ttp)- and M2II(ttp)2 (M = Rh, Ir) under basic conditions. With a weaker Rh(ttp)-Rh(ttp) bond, RhII(ttp)· metalloradical exists in an appreciable amount to cleave the alkyl C-H bond, competing with the alkyl C-O bond cleavage via RhI(ttp)-. In contrast, the more nucleophilic IrI(ttp)- cleaves the alkyl C-O bond exclusively.
