Porphyrin derivatives R 0130Rapid Synthesis of Alkyloxy Porphyrins under Microwave Irradiation. -A practical, inexpensive, rapid, and green method for the synthesis of the title compounds (III) is developed. It is shown that the length of the alkyl halides has no obvious effect on the yields and reaction times, but the steric structure of the alkyl halides significantly influences the reaction time. -(REN, Q.-G.; FANG*, Y.-X.; JI, H.-B.; WEI, X.-C.; DENG, Y.-Q.; ZHANG, K.; Synth.
