Abstract: | The macroporosity and acidity of cation exchange resins play a crucial role in the synthesis of dipyrromethanes and porphyrins; for the first time, cation exchange resins have been used as heterogeneous solid acid catalysts to produce dipyrromethanes and porphyrins in good yields. The reaction, at room temperature, of substituted aromatic aldehydes with pyrrole catalysed by cation exchange resin afforded the corresponding meso-substituted dipyrromethane in yields ranging from 70 to 80%, indicating the broad scope of the reaction. Further, the condensation of meso-substituted dipyrromethane with similar or different substituted aromatic aldehydes, using cation exchange resins furnished meso-tetrakis-symmetrical and mixed porphyrins, respectively. One-pot synthesis of porphyrins can also be carried out directly from the aldehydes and pyrrole under the above conditions. Acidolysis of the dipyrromethane is negligible under the conditions of the porphyrin-forming reaction. |
