Reductive demetallation of Cu-corroles--a new protective strategy towards functional free-base corroles.
A novel procedure for the reductive demetallation of Cu-meso-triarylcorroles has been disclosed. The reversible sequence copper metallation/demetallation was proven to be an effective protection/deprotection strategy towards sophisticated functionalized free-base corroles.
