Abstract

Bis (tosylimido) ruthenium (VI) porphyrins,[RuVI (Por)(NTs) 2](Por= TPP, TTP, 4-Cl-TPP, 4- MeO-TPP, OEP), were prepared in 60-74% yields by treatment of [RuII (Por)(CO)(MeOH)] with (N-(p-tolylsulfonyl) imino) phenyliodinane (PhI NTs) in dichloromethane. In dichloromethane containing pyrazole, they reacted with alkenes or alkanes to give tosylamidoruthenium (IV) porphyrins,[RuIV (Por)(NHTs)(pz)], in about 75% yields. The ...
