Oxazolochlorins 21. Most Efficient Access to meso-Tetraphenyl- and meso-Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porpholactones, and Their Zinc(II) and Platinum(II) Complexes
specific derivative. We report here on what we experimentally evaluated to be the most efficient pathways to generate the six key compounds from the commercially available porphyrins, meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TFPP): free base meso-tetraphenylporpholactone (TPL) and meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porpholactone (TFPL), and their platinum(II) and zinc(II)
We describe an efficientruthenium-catalyzedoxidation of the β,β′-pyrrolicring on the porphyrin periphery. Through the conversion of a β,β′-double bond to a lactone moiety, the direct preparation of porpholactones from porphyrins is achieved, which previously suffered from needing toxic reagents, multiple synthetic steps and low yields. The generality of this method has been investigated with various
The first organic NIR mechanophosphorescence material based on the carbazole–Pt(ii)F20TPPL doped system has been synthesized, and its potential application in biomechanical visualization has also been demonstrated.
