The cis-dichloro-meso-hexaethylporphodimethene-zirconium(IV) complex has been functionalized to the corresponding dialkyl derivatives [R = Me, PhCH2, Ph], 3-5, displaying a variety of migratory pathways. In the case of benzyl derivative 4, the spontaneous migration of the first benzyl to the ligand, 6, is followed by the second one, photochemically induced, thus forming a Zr-porphyrinogen complex, 7. The methyl derivative undergoes thermally induced methane elimination with the metalation of the meso ethyl chains, 8. Migration of both methyl groups has been observed in the reaction of 3 with ButNC, with the preliminary formation of η2-imine, rearranging to the corresponding enamine, 9.
