A novel, high-yielding synthesis of meso-substituted porphyrins via the direct arylation of porphine

A new method for the synthesis of meso-substituted porphyrins is described: reaction of 5,10,15,20-tetrabromoporphine magnesium complex with aryl or heteroaryl boronic acids in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 gave meso-substituted porphyri

A four-phenyl porphine production method (by machine translation)

The invention discloses a production method for tetraphenyl porphin. The production method includes the steps that 1, pyrrole and aromatic aldehyde are prepared into a mixed solution for standby application; 2, solvent is added into a polymerization reactor, the pressure of the polymerization reactor is maintained at 1-5 atm, the mixed solution obtained in the step 1 starts to be dripped to start a polymerization reaction, after the reaction is finished, reaction products are cooled to normal temperature, and filter liquor and a filter cake are obtained through filtration; 3, the filter cake obtained in the step 2 and propionic acid are added into an oxidation reactor, oxygen-containing gas is introduced to carry out an oxidation reaction, cooling is carried out after oxidation is finished, a solid and filter liquor are obtained through filtration, and the solid is washed and dried to obtain the tetraphenyl porphin. The production method has the advantages of being high in yield, safe and environmentally friendly, separation and purification are easy, and the production quality is stable.

Efficient synthesis of meso-tetraarylporphyrins using i2 as catalyst and ibx as oxidant

meso-Tetraarylporphyrins are synthesized from pyrrole and substituted benzaldehydes by a catalytic amount of I2 as catalyst and o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) as oxidant in two steps and one flask. The advantages of this method include the use of inexpensive and easily available catalyst, avoidance of heavy consumption of CH2Cl2, innocuous oxidant, and good yields.
