Abstract:The synthesis of a new tetracationic porphyrin derivative is described. Contrary to the best known derivatives in the literature, which are derived from 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-4-pyridylporphyrin (TPyP), in this procedure we start from 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-carboxymethoxyphenyl)porphyrin (TPPCOOMe), obtained by the condensation reaction between pyrrole and 4-formylbenzoate. The reaction is carried out in refluxed xylene, avoiding the use of halogenated solvents. The final product, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-(3-carbam… Show more
