An unprecedented rhodium-catalyzed selective cleavage of double alkyl-oxygen bonds of bis/tris(o-alkyloxyphenyl)phosphine has been realized, in which P atom functions as a directing group and simple aryl acids are the methyl group acceptor to provide methyl esters and a quaternary phosphonium salt. The preliminary mechanism was investigated via an 18O labeling experiment and stoichiometric reaction between a Rh-A crystal and an aromatic acid.
