Synthesis of a neo-confused porphyrin and an unusual dihydroporphyrin derivative

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Sep 4;49(68):7537-9. doi: 10.1039/c3cc44248a.

Abstract

MacDonald "2 + 2" condensation of a 1,2'-dipyrrylmethane dialdehyde with a 2,2'-dipyrrylmethane afforded a neo-confused porphyrin in 55% yield. In addition, a novel dihydroporphyrin with two appended pyrrolic units was isolated and structurally characterized.
