title: Unexpected alkyl group migration in palladium(II) benzocarbaporphyrins.
abstract: Reaction of a benzocarbaporphyrin with methyl or ethyl iodide and potassium carbonate in refluxing acetone primarily afforded the 22-alkylation products. Subsequent metalation with palladium(II) acetate in refluxing acetonitrile gave the palladium(II) organometallic derivatives where the alkyl group had migrated to the 21-position.
