A new class of dirhodium(II) tetraamidinates derived from 2‐(sulfonylimino)pyrrolidines has been prepared through ligand substitution by using dirhodium(II) acetate, in which (3,1) geometric isomers are formed predominantly. Among these complexes, (3,1)‐Rh 2 (Msip) 4 , exhibits good catalytic performance in benzylic oxidation. In the presence of (3,1)‐Rh 2 (Msip) 4 a variety of benzylic derivatives, including strongly electron‐deficient arylalkanes such as 1‐ethyl‐4‐nitrobenzene, are readily oxidized in water by the inexpensive oxidant T‐HYDRO ® (70 wt.‐% aqueous tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide).
