Synthesis of Novel Porphyrinoids from Dipyrrins

  • Chapter
Chemical Science of π-Electron Systems

Abstract

Most syntheses of meso-substituted porphyrinoid rely on acid-catalyzed condensation of pyrrole segments with aldehyde units followed by oxidation. This standard procedure is convenient but generally is low yielding. However, modern synthetic methodologies would offer an expeditious route to several intriguing porphyrinoids. In particular, the metal template strategy using dipyrrin metal complexes is effective to construct porphyrin-like cyclic π-conjugated systems, which are otherwise difficult to access by the conventional methodology.
