Abstract

Treatment of zinc(II)-5,10,15-trisubstituted porphyrins with PhICl₂ afforded the corresponding meso-chlorinated porphyrins and meso,meso-linked bisporphyrins in almost 50% yield. The reaction of copper(II), nickel(II), or free-base 5,10,15-trisubstituted porphyrins with PhICl₂ gave only meso-chlorinated products without any coupling bisporphyrins. Similarly, the reaction of nickel(II) or free-base 5,15-diphenylporphyrins solely yielded meso-chlorinated products, whereas that of the zinc(II)-5,15-diphenylporphyrin with PhICl₂, produced only coupling products. Interestingly, β-chloroporphyrins were exclusively formed not only for copper(II) or free-base 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrins, but also for the zinc complexes. In contrast to the reaction of PhICl₂, the reaction of PhIF₂ with 5,10,15-trisubstituted metalloporphyrins gave the coupling bisporphyrins in high yields, without any fluorinated product. However, in the presence of I₂, the meso-iodination of free-base 5,10,15-trisubstituted porphyrins proceeded smoothly.
