Nitration of tetrabenzoporphins

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

Zinc meso-trinitrotetrabenzoporphin and zinc meso-tetranitrotetrabenzoporphin were obtained by nitration of zinc tetrabenzoporphin and its tert-butyl-substituted analog with a mixture of nitric and acetic acids. A demetallated compound is formed in 88% yield when zinc meso-tetranitrotetrabenzoporphin is treated with HCl in acetic acid, and reduction of the nitro groups to amino groups occurs when it is treated with tin in acetic acid.
