meso-Substituted Dipyrromethanes from Vinylogous Aromatic Heterocycles and Their Utilization to the Synthesis of meso-Functionalized Porphyrins
نویسندگان
چکیده
meso-Functionalized dipyrromethanes 6-10 were synthesized by acid-catalyzed addition of pyrrole to αposition of 2-alkenyl pyrroles. The regiochemistry of the reaction can be explained by either the formation of more stable carbocation intermediate or β-addition of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The starting 2alkenyl pyrroles were synthesized by Aldol condensation of 2-formylpyrrole with active methylene compounds such as nitromethane, diethylmalonate and malononitrile. Attempted ‘2+2’ condensation of meso-diethylmalonyldipyrromethane, meso-(p-tolyl)dipyrromethane and p-tolualdehyde afforded three different porphyrins 12, 13 and 14 in reasonable yields. On the other hand, meso-(nitromethyl)dipyrromethane with p-(tbutyl)benzaldehyde resulted in the formation of three different porphyrins such as 5,15-dicyano-10,20diarylporphyrin (16), 5-cyano-15-formyl-10,20-diarylporphyrin (17) and 5,15-diformyl-10,20-diarylporphyrin (18) in low yields. Conversion of nitromethyl groups to nitrile and (or) formyl group was observed under the porphyrin forming conditions.

5-(4-X-Phenyl)-10,15,20-tris(substituted phenyl) porphyrins (4-6) were synthesized from meso-(substituted phenyl) dipyrromethanes (1-3), which in turn were prepared in yields of 75-92 %. This synthetic pathway was compared with the binary mixed aldehyde and pyrrole condensation method. The reported dipyrromethane approach is advantageous for porphyrins substituted by –OCH3 (4) and -F (6) groups...
