Synthesis of a phosphorus-containing hybrid porphyrin

Org Lett. 2006 Dec 7;8(25):5713-6. doi: 10.1021/ol0622763.

Abstract

A phosphorus-containing hybrid porphyrin was successfully prepared via the BF3-promoted dehydrative condensation between sigma4-phosphatripyrrane and 2,5-bis[hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]thiophene. The NMR and UV-vis absorption spectra, electrochemical measurements, and DFT calculations revealed that the sigma3-P,N2,S-hybrid porphyrin exhibits high aromaticity as an 18pi-electron system in terms of both geometric and magnetic criteria.
