Preparation of Single Substituted Phenyl Porphyrins Form iMeso/i-Tetraphenyl Porphyrin-Synthetic Example from Symmetric Porphyrin into Asymmetric Porphyrins

摘要

Two asymmetric porphyrins, 5-(4-chloromethylphenyl)-10, 15, 20-triphenyl porphyrin and 5-(4-formylphenyl)-10, 15, 20-triphenyl porphyrin, were successfully prepared by the symmetric meso-tetraphenyl porphyrin and relative molecular configurations and properties were characterized by spectral determinations. This work presented an example for synthesis of asymmetric porphyrin derivatives from the symmetric porphyrin. Both asymmetric porphyrins are reactive in molecular assembly, the concerned reactions including alkylation with Grignard reagents, etherification with alcohols, aldol condensation and Mannich reaction for modification and enhancing their functionality. In this work, the reaction conditions were improved, synthetic strategy and route were confirmed.
