Rh(tmp) reacted with two diazo compounds to give rhodium(III) porphyrin alkyls in high yields under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies showed that Rh(tmp) was coordinated with a diazo compound, which then underwent a rapid hydrogen atom abstraction via carbon-hydrogen bond activation to give Rh-(tmp)H. Rh(tmp)H subsequently reacted with a second molecule of the diazo compound in the rate-determining step to give Rh(tmp) alkyl and N2. The rate law revealed that rate = k[Rh(tmp)][EDA]2 for ethyl diazoacetate.
