Steric decompression of picket-strapped porphyrins for the synthesis of side-differentiated chelates

Org Lett. 2010 Jan 1;12(1):8-11. doi: 10.1021/ol902513c.

Abstract

A general method to synthesize various alphabeta alphabeta bis-strapped porphyrins, with a different functionalization on each side of the macrocycle, is described. The resulting new chelates may find applications as analogues of heme protein active sites, bifunctional chelates, or specific bis-chelating molecules with potential medical utility.
