Rh(ttp)Cl ( 1a ) (ttp = 5,10,15,20-tetrakistolylporphyrinato dianion) was found to react with methanol at a high temperature of 150 °C in the presence of inorganic bases to give a high yield of Rh(ttp)CH 3 ( 2a ), up to 87%. Rh(ttp)H ( 1d ) is suggested to be the key intermediate for the carbon−oxygen bond cleavage.
