The carbaporphyrins reacted with palladium(II) acetate or nickel(II) acetate to give organometallic complexes but in both cases alkyl group migration took place to generate 21-alkyl derivatives. Although this type of reactivity had been observed previously for palladium complexes, this is the first time the phenomenon has been seen in nickel(II) carbaporphyrins. Reactions with nickel(II) acetate in refluxing DMF for longer time periods primarily led to decomposition but unusual byproducts were identified. These could be obtained in higher yields by reacting the carbaporphyrin aldehydes with 5 equiv of (bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo)benzene in the presence of grade 3 alumina.

We conducted combined theoretical and experimental investigations on selected BODIPY photocages to elucidate the mechanism of the competing photocleavage at the boron and <i>meso</i>-position. Based on the computations, the former reaction involves elongation of the B–C bond, yielding a tight borenium cation and methyl anion. These ions are intercepted by CH<sub>3</sub>OH, enabling an efficient proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) to produce the methane and isolated ether photoproducts. Singlet and triplet excited-state lifetimes were measured in CH<sub>3</sub>OH and CD<sub>3</sub>OD to probe the kinetic isotope effects (KIEs). The resulting KIEs are small, implying that the kinetic bottleneck is due to the C–B bond scission rather than the subsequent PCET. The introduction of a methoxy group in the <i>meso</i>-phenoxy substituent redirects the photosubstitution toward the <i>meso</i>-position. The corresponding regiochemistry was explained computationally. On elongating the C–O bonds in the S<sub>1</sub> state, it is found that the unproductive conical intersection is encountered much earlier for the alkyl–O bond than for the phenyl–O bond. The current findings are valuable for the rational design of new BODIPY photocages with tailored biological applications.","PeriodicalId":57,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.354,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
