5, 10, 15, 20-Tetraaryl-22-hetero-1, 5-naphthiporphyrins, which contain a 1, 5-naphthylene moiety instead of one pyrrole embedded in the macrocyclic framework of heteroporphyrins, were obtained by the [3+ 1] approach using the 1, 5-naphthylene analogue of tripyrrane (1, 5- bis (phenyl (2-pyrolyl) methyl) naphthalene) and 2, 5-bis (arylhydroxymethyl) heterocyclopentadiene (heterocyclopentadiene: thiophene, selenophene, tellurophene). ...
