“…The great interest in thiazoles and their derivatives is due to their biological importance as constituents of many biomolecules, including antibiotics. In some cases, the pharmacological activity of copper(II)±thiazole complexes was found to be much higher than that of the parent heterocycles (Chang et al, 1982). However, the crystal structures of their complexes are unknown.…”

“…Type‐XII porphyrin diacid of the C 2v symmetry was also prepared (Figure 1, lower) to alter the lateral slippage of the two metal centers. Slipped cofacial diporphyrins and a cytochrome oxidase model were thus made from such a porphyrin to achieve the desired configurations 8,17…”

The Rothemund reaction and the MacDonald 2+2 condensation are two named reactions widely recognized in porphyrin syntheses. Yet not much has been written about the persons whose work paved the way to various porphyrins and porphyrinoids now realized. Paul Rothemund and S. Ferguson MacDonald both obtained their doctorate under Hans Fischer at Munich. Here I attempt to piece together the life stories of the two chemists, tracing back to the connections with the Fischer School, and giving the historical context to their namesake reactions. The pioneering discoveries of Fischer and his students, with later modifications, have become standard methods in the modern era for the synthesis of sizable quantities of porphyrins and porphyrinoids employed for enzyme models, catalysts, drugs, sensors, and building blocks of materials and biomedical research. This essay highlights the pioneers’ achievements, renders history relevant, and recounts the influence they had on my research.
