Synthesis of new porphyrins with peripheral conjugated chelates and their use for the preparation of porphyrin dimers linked by metal ions

This article describes the preparation of several new porphyrins bearing chelating peripheral groups fully conjugated with the macrocyclic pi-system. Treatment of a 2-nitro-meso-tetraarylporphyrin with phosphite gave a cyclic enamine, whose formylation gave an enaminoaldehyde. The thio analogue was obtained on treatment with Lawesson's reagent. The same reagent was also used to obtain the isomeric thioenaminoketone chelates. A enaminoketone ligand was prepared from a porphyrinic pyrrolone. All these ligands, as internal nickel complexes, could be metalated with palladium to yield porphyrinic dimers. The dimers obtained from enaminoketones and thioketones show a trans geometry, while in the enaminoaldehyde and -thioaldehyde series the cis isomer is thermodynamically favored. The bathochromic shifts of the electronic spectra of the aldehyde-derived dimers illustrate the strong electronic effect of peripheral metalation and dimerization. However, in the case of the pyrrolone-derived ligand, opposite effects were observed, due to partial reconstitution of the porphyrin chromophore on complexation. As with the dimers derived from enaminoketones, the dimers derived from the new ligands show typical splitting (up to 190 mV) of the electrochemical waves confirming large porphyrin-porphyrin interactions.     

Fluorinated porphyrinoids and their biomedical applications

Porphyrins, phthalocyanines, chlorins and corroles create a compact group of macrocyclic compounds of established utility in medicine and technology. Fluorine atom insertion to their structures belongs to one of many ongoing approaches for improving their potency. The presence of fluorine in the structure of a photosensitizer may enrich it with required pharmacokinetic features. Photostability, high level of singlet oxygen production, lipophilicity and selective accumulation in tumor cells have made the fluorinated porphyrinoids potential entities for photodynamic therapy. Moreover, photosensitizers possessing intrinsic fluorescence may be applied as agents in photodynamic diagnosis of cancer. Noteworthy, magnetic resonance of fluorinated compounds constitutes excellent probe for sensitive and minimally invasive imaging.Porphyrins constitute the largest group within fluorinated porphyrinoids of potential anticancer and antimicrobial properties. Skillful combination of fluorine substituents with other functional groups in their structures, including glycol or sugars led to novel molecules possessing outstanding phototoxicity in both in vitro and in vivo studies. Furthermore, fluorinated porphyrins were researched as biomimetic systems imitating the active sites of some enzymes. Fluorinated chlorins are considered as promising photosensitizers due to a strong absorption and the least harmful effects to human tissues. Fluorine containing groups introduced to the periphery of phthalocyanines improved their solubility in common solvents and thus enhanced applications in in vitro and in vivo researches. Lately investigated porphyrinoids belonging to corroles showed on one hand potential as photosensitizers, but on the other hand they were found as catalytic anti-oxidants for attenuation of diabetes mellitus.     

Porphyrins bearing arylphosphonic acid tethers for attachment to oxide surfaces

Synthetic molecules bearing phosphonic acid groups can be readily attached to oxide surfaces. As part of a program in molecular-based information storage, we have developed routes for the synthesis of diverse porphyrinic compounds bearing phenylphosphonic acid tethers. The routes enable (1) incorporation of masked phosphonic acid groups in precursors for use in the rational synthesis of porphyrinic compounds and (2) derivatization of porphyrins with masked phosphonic acid groups. The precursors include dipyrromethanes, monoacyldipyrromethanes, and diacyldipyrromethanes. The tert-butyl group has been used to mask the dihydroxyphosphoryl substituent. The di-tert-butyloxyphosphoryl unit is stable to the range of conditions employed in syntheses of porphyrins and multiporphyrin arrays yet can be deprotected under mild conditions (TMS-Cl/TEA or TMS-Br/TEA in refluxing CHCl(3)) that do not cause demetalation of zinc or magnesium porphyrins. The porphyrinic compounds that have been prepared include (1) A(3)B-, trans-AB(2)C-, and ABCD-porphyrins that bear a single phenylphosphonic acid group, (2) a trans-A(2)B(2)-porphyrin bearing two phenylphosphonic acid groups, (3) a chlorin that bears a single phenylphosphonic acid group, and (4) a porphyrin dyad bearing a single phenylphosphonic acid group. For selected porphyrin-phosphonic acids, the electrochemical characteristics have been investigated for molecules tethered to SiO(2) surfaces grown on doped Si. The voltammetric behavior indicates that the porphyrin-phosphonic acids form robust, electrically well-behaved monolayers on the oxide surface.     

Design, synthesis, and photophysical characterization of water-soluble chlorins

The use of chlorins as photosensitizers or fluorophores in a range of biological applications requires facile provisions for imparting high water solubility. Two free base chlorins have been prepared wherein each chlorin bears a geminal dimethyl group in the reduced ring and a water-solubilizing unit at the chlorin 10-position. In one design (FbC1-PO3H2), the water-solubilizing unit is a 1,5-diphosphonopent-3-yl ("swallowtail") unit, which has previously been used to good effect with porphyrins. In the other design (FbC2-PO3H2), the water-solubilizing unit is a 2,6-bis(phosphonomethoxy)phenyl unit. Two complementary routes were developed for preparing FbC2-PO3H2 that entail introduction of the protected phosphonate moieties either in the Eastern-half precursor to the chlorin or by derivatization of an intact chlorin. Water-solubilization is achieved in the last step of each synthesis upon removal of the phosphonate protecting groups. The chlorins FbC1-PO3H2 and FbC2-PO3H2 are highly water-soluble (>10 mM) as shown by 1H NMR spectroscopy (D2O) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The photophysical properties of the water-soluble chlorins in phosphate-buffered saline solution (pH 7.4) at room temperature were investigated using static and time-resolved absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. Each chlorin exhibits dominant absorption bands in the blue and the red region (lambda = 398, 626 nm), a modest fluorescence yield (Phi f approximately 0.11), a long singlet excited-state lifetime (tau = 7.5 ns), and a high yield of intersystem crossing to give the triplet state (Phi isc = 0.9). The properties of the water-soluble chlorins in aqueous media are comparable to those of hydrophobic chlorins in toluene. The high aqueous solubility combined with the attractive photophysical properties make these compounds suitable for a wide range of biomedical applications.     

Simple approach to "locked" chlorins

[reaction: see text] A novel synthetic approach to diversely functionalized "locked" chlorins is described. A suitably substituted 2,5-diformylpyrrole undergoes the macrocyclization reaction with tripyrranes, thereby generating porphyrins. Upon the reaction with 1,3-dipoles these porphyrins regioselectively furnish pyrrolidine-fused chlorins, which cannot oxidize to the corresponding porphyrins. In the process involving just six steps from commercially available and cheap materials we are able to obtain approximately 200 mg of pure stable chlorins (the overall yield is 1.5-2.8%).

Interplay between acetate ions, peripheral groups, and reactivity of the core nitrogens in transmetalation of tetrapyrroles

The mechanism of acetate-assisted transmetalation of tetrapyrroles was investigated in a model system consisting of chlorophyll a and copper(II) acetate in organic solvents by using a spectroscopic and kinetic approach. Surprisingly, acetate ions bind to the central Mg in chlorophyll much more strongly than do acetonitrile, methanol and even pyridine, one of the best ligands in chlorophyllic systems. This exceptionally strong non-symmetrical axial ligation of the central Mg by acetate causes its out-of-plane displacement and deformation of the tetrapyrrole ring, thus facilitating the interaction with an incoming CuII complex. This mechanism is controlled by a keto-enol tautomerism of the chlorophyll isocyclic ring. Additionally, depending on solvent, acetate activates the incoming metal ions. These new insights allow to suggest a mechanism for the acetate method of metal exchange in tetrapyrrolic macrocycles, which resembles biological insertion of metal ions into porphyrins. It also provides a guideline for the design of more efficient methods for the metalation of porphyrins and related macrocycles.     

Planarity of metal chlorins in n-octane solution

The geometry of porphyrins has been and continues to be a subject of vigorous research. In this work we investigated the planarity of a series of divalent metal chlorins in n-octane solutions: magnesium, zinc, copper, nickel, cobalt, manganese, tin, cadmium, strontium, lead and platinum. Room temperature electronic absorption spectra of these complexes are reported. We plotted the energy of each B band against its respective Qy origin band. Based on these results it was concluded that in these metal chlorins the configuration interaction between Qy and B states is essentially constant; the exception is the magnesium complex which deviates from the pattern produced by the other metal chlorins. This suggests that the magnesium ion is out of the plane of the chlorin skeleton; thus, it has C(S) symmetry while the other metal chlorins in this group retained C2v symmetry.

Rational or statistical routes from 1-acyldipyrromethanes to meso-substituted porphyrins. Distinct patterns, multiple pyridyl substituents, and amphipathic architectures

New methodology is described for the synthesis of porphyrins bearing four (A 4, cis-A 2B 2, cis-ABC 2, trans-A 2B 2) or fewer (A, cis-AB, cis-A 2, trans-A 2) meso substituents. The method entails condensation of two 1-acyldipyrromethanes in the presence of a metal salt (MgBr 2, 3 mol equiv) and a noncoordinating base (DBU, 10 mol equiv) in a noncoordinating solvent (toluene) with heating (conventional or microwave irradiation) and exposure to air. The rational synthesis of trans-A 2B 2- or trans-A 2-porphyrins was achieved via condensation of two identical 1-acyldipyrromethanes. The statistical synthesis of various meso-substituted porphyrins was achieved via condensation of two nonidentical 1-acyldipyrromethanes. Both routes possess attractive features including (1) no scrambling, (2) good yield (up to 60%) at high concentration (100 mM) for the macrocycle-forming step, (3) reasonable scope (aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, or no substituent), (4) short reaction time ( approximately 2 h) via microwave irradiation, (5) magnesium porphyrins as the products, which easily undergo demetalation, and (6) facile chromatographic purification. A key advantage of the statistical route is to obtain a cis-substituted porphyrin without the corresponding trans isomer. For example, reaction of an A/B-substituted 1-acyldipyrromethane and the fully unsubstituted 1-formyldipyrromethane gave the magnesium chelates of three porphyrins: the trans-A 2B 2-porphyrin, the "hybrid" cis-AB-porphyrin, and porphine (no trans-AB-porphyrin can form), which were readily demetalated and separated as the free base species. Altogether 26 1-acyldipyrromethanes and 26 target porphyrins have been prepared, including many with two different pyridyl substituents. One set of amphipathic porphyrins includes cis-A 2B 2- or cis-A 2BC-porphyrins wherein A = pentyl and B/C = pyridyl ( o-, m-, p-). Taken together, the rational and statistical routes enable facile conversion of readily available 1-acyldipyrromethanes to diverse porphyrins bearing 1-4 meso substituents for which access is limited via other methods.     

Photosensitized processes in vivo: proposed phototherapeutic applications

The use of photosensitizing dyes having intense absorption bands in the 600-900 nm spectral interval opens up new prospects in the field of photochemotherapy, because it allows the illumination of relatively large tissue volumes with no significant damage to photosensitizer-free tissues. Special interest is currently focused on the photodynamic therapy of solid tumors, because of the property of several dyes with a macrocyclic chemical structure (porphyrins, chlorins, phthalocyanines, xanthenes) to accumulate in significant amounts and be retained for prolonged periods of time by neoplastic lesions. Strategies are being developed for enhancing the selectivity of tumor targeting by photosensitizers through the exploitation of functional or biochemical differences between normal and malignant cells.     

Magnesium-butadiene addition compounds: Isolation,structural analysis and chemical reactivity

These compounds have a polymeric structure. Structural analysis of these compounds by NMR and IR methods was carried out. The process for the formation of II via I and III via II was investigated. The results of protolysis and alkylation of the above magnesium compounds corresponded well to those of crotylmagnesium compounds.     

Palladium-catalyzed reactions for the synthesis of chlorins and 5,10-porphodimethenes

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of RLi with various 5,10,15,20-tetrasubstituted porphyrins offers a convenient synthetic route to chlorins and porphodimethenes (calixphyrins). The reactions utilized various Pd catalysts and CuI and yielded either 2,3-substituted chlorins or 5,10-disubstituted porphodimethenes in yields ranging from 20-40%. The reaction of octaethylporphyrin with t-BuLi in the presence of a Pd-catalyst generated the corresponding 5,10-porphodimethene in 72% yield.     

Use of Ag(II) as a removable template in porphyrin chemistry: diol cleavage products of [meso-tetraphenyl-2,3-cis-diolchlorinato]silver(II)

The use of Ag^II as a removable template in synthetic porphyrin chemistry is described. Mild procedures for the insertion of Ag^II into chlorins and the demetallation of the [chlorinato]Ag^II complexes are delineated. The UV-vis spectra of the novel [chlorinato]Ag^II complexes are discussed. The diol cleavage products of [meso-tetraphenyl-2,3-diolchlorinato]silver(II) under a number of conditions are characterized and compared to those resulting from the cleavage of the corresponding free base diol chlorin or its Ni^II complex, highlighting the unique templating effect of Ag^II. The scopes and limits of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for the analysis of Ag^II chlorins is described. The use of Ag^II as a templating metal is superior over Ni^II or Zn^II for the preparation of free base pyrrole-modified porphyrins along metal templated pathways.     

La(OTf)3-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of meso-substituted porphyrinic thiazolidinones

Abstract  

An improved synthetic procedure is developed for the regioselective nitration of a phenyl group of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin by using NaNO₂ in a mixture of trichloroacetic acid and AcOH. The meso-(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrins are successfully reduced to corresponding meso-(4-aminophenyl)porphyrins by SnCl₂ under acidic conditions. In addition, an efficient one-pot methodology for synthesizing a series of novel meso-substituted porphyrinic thiazolidinone conjugates is developed by reacting meso-(4-aminophenyl)porphyrins with various aromatic aldehydes and mercaptoacetic acid in refluxing toluene using La(OTf)₃ as a catalyst. The products obtained are characterized on the basis of their spectral data. Preliminary photophysical properties of the newly synthesized compounds are reported.     

Synthesis of Linear Amphipathic Porphyrin Dimers and Trimers: An Approach to Bilayer Lipid Membrane Spanning Porphyrin Arrays

A modular building-block approach has been developed for the construction of linear amphipathic porphyrin arrays. The reaction of meso-(trifluoromethyl)dipyrromethane and an aldehyde under the conditions of the two-step room temperature porphyrin synthesis affords the trans-substituted porphyrin (13-56% yields). A similar reaction with two different aldehydes provides access to porphyrins bearing two different functional groups. An ethyne porphyrin and an iodo porphyrin (either free base or zinc) are selectively joined via Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reactions, affording a linear array with porphyrins in defined metalation states. Coupling of a zinc-porphyrin bearing iodo and ester groups with a free base porphyrin bearing ethyne and ester groups yielded the zinc-free base porphyrin dimer. Coupling of a bis-ethyne porphyrin with a porphyrin bearing iodo and ester groups afforded the porphyrin trimer. Cleavage of the esters yielded the amphipathic porphyrin dimer and trimer arrays. The arrays with adjacent zinc and free base porphyrins undergo efficient electronic energy transfer. Both amphipathic porphyrin arrays have been incorporated into L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine vesicles. This versatile synthetic strategy provides access to a family of porphyrin arrays for studies of photophysical processes in supramolecular assemblies.     

Pore‐Environment Engineering with Multiple Metal Sites in Rare‐Earth Porphyrinic Metal–Organic Frameworks

Multi‐component metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with precisely controlled pore environments are highly desired owing to their potential applications in gas adsorption, separation, cooperative catalysis, and biomimetics. A series of multi‐component MOFs, namely PCN‐900(RE), were constructed from a combination of tetratopic porphyrinic linkers, linear linkers, and rare‐earth hexanuclear clusters (RE₆) under the guidance of thermodynamics. These MOFs exhibit high surface areas (up to 2523 cm² g^?1) and unlimited tunability by modification of metal nodes and/or linker components. Post‐synthetic exchange of linear linkers and metalation of two organic linkers were realized, allowing the incorporation of a wide range of functional moieties. Two different metal sites were sequentially placed on the linear linker and the tetratopic porphyrinic linker, respectively, giving rise to an ideal platform for heterogeneous catalysis.
