Synthesis of conjugates of isobornylphenols and natural chlorins

A series of terpenophenol—chlorin conjugates containing terpenophenol and porphyrin fragments of various structure was synthesized. The terpenophenol fragment was added to the chlorin macrocycle using reactions of the exocyclic ester and the propionate substituent in the 17-position of methylpheophorbide a analogs.
