Rothemund and Adler-Longo reactions revisited: synthesis of tetraphenylporphyrins under equilibrium conditions

Abstract: We present a new synthetic strategy for preparing tetraphenylporphyrins that should greatly expand synthetic entries into porphyrin containing model systems. Pyrrole and the desired benzaldehyde react reversibly at room temperature with trace acid catalysis to form the cyclic tetraphenylporphyrinogen at thermodynamic equilibrium. An oxidant is then added to irreversibly convert the porphyrinogen to the porphyrin. The greater stability of the cyclic porphyrinogen over the open-chain polypyrrylmethanes occurs wh… Show more

“…For aldehyde-pyrrole condensation reactions, this ranges from the early Rothemund condensation [136] to the now standard Lindsey condensation [137] . Partial and total syntheses were facilitated first by the MacDonald condensation, a [2+2] condensation utilizing dipyrromethenes, dipyrroyl ketones and dipyrromethanes [138] .…”

“…Condensation reactions, notably using Lindsey conditions [137] offer a simple entry into porphyrin systems and have been widely used, especially for meso substituted systems. This requires a combination of pyrrole (delivering the β-pyrrole units) and aldehyde (delivering the meso carbon unit) under acid-catalyzed conditions and obviously is a convenient method for the preparation of A 4 -type porphyrins with the same residue in all meso positions.…”
