Abstract

The general synthetic methods presented in this paper make available, on a preparative scale, unprecedented porphyrinogen-derived skeletons, including their functionalization at the meso positions. The stepwise dealkylation of meso-octaalkylporphyrinogen R8N4H4 [R= Et, 1; R= Bun, 2] was chemically, mechanistically, and structurally followed until the formation of porphomethene and porphodimethene derivatives 5-13, obtained with a ...
