A variety of β-perfluoroalkylpyrroles were prepared from reaction of β-perfluoroalkyl-α,β-unsaturated ketones with p-toluenesulfonylmethylisocyanide in moderate yields. Tetrakis(perfluoroalkyl)porphyrins were readily obtained by oxidative cyclization of 2-hydroxymethyl-3-ethyl-4-perfluoroalkylpyrroles in acidic media.
