Selective Aliphatic Carbon–Carbon Bond Activation by Rhodium Porphyrin Complexes

ConspectusThe carbon–carbon bond activation of organic molecules with transition metal complexes is an attractive transformation. These reactions form transition metal–carbon bonded intermediates, which contribute to fundamental understanding in organometallic chemistry. Alternatively, the metal–carbon bond in these intermediates can be further functionalized to construct new carbon–(hetero)atom bonds. This methodology promotes the concept that...
