Sterically Encumbered Porphyrins by Suzuki Reactions of a 5,15-Bis(4,6-dichloropyrimidin-5-yl) Derivative

Abstract

The high yielding synthesis of novel four picket fence porphyrins via palladium catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of 5,15-bis(pyrimidinyl)porphyrin 1 and commercially available arylboronic acids is described.
