Abstract

Treatment of 5,15-diarylporphyrins with a combination of organolithium and alkyl iodide reagents followed by hydrolysis with water and oxidation with DDQ gives convenient access to A2BC-type meso-tetrasubstituted free base porphyrins in a one-pot synthesis. Key intermediates are mesomeric phlorin- and porphodimethene-type anions, the latter one being able to react with electrophiles under thermodynamic control.
