The synthesis of the sterically hindered porphyrin 1 (3,7,13,17-tetramethyl-5,15-diphenylporphyrin) could only be achieved by first preparing a 5,16-meso substituted octaalkylporphyrin. Thus, the synthesis of a 2,8,12,18-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,7,17-tetramethyl-5,15-diphenylprophyrin (12) had to precede the synthesis of 1. The 2-hydroxyethyl side chains were then converted into vinyl residues via the corresponding 2-chloroethyl intermediates. The four vinyl residues (at C2, C8, C12, C18) were cleaved using a resorcinol melt, and the tetra beta-unsubstituted porphyrin 1 was then obtained. Porphyrin 1 could not be prepared by direct condensation of benzaldehyde with 3-methylpyrrole nor with a meso phenyl beta-unsubstituted dipyrrylmethane.
