The condensation of an aldehyde with a dipyrromethane bearing a sterically unhindered aryl substituent at the 5-position typically results in low yield and a mixture of porphyrin products derived from acidolytic scrambling. We have developed a concise nonscrambling synthesis of such trans-porphyrins that takes advantage of the availability of multigram quantities of dipyrromethanes. This route involves the selective monoacylation of the dipyrromethanes with a pyridyl thioester, reduction of the monoacyl dipyrromethane to the corresponding carbinol, and self-condensation of the carbinol to form the porphyrin. The monoacylation procedure has wide scope as demonstrated by the preparation of a set of 15 diverse monoacyl dipyrromethanes in good yield at the multigram scale. The dipyrromethanecarbinol self-condensation reaction is extremely rapid (<3 min) under mild room-temperature conditions and affords the trans-porphyrin in 16-28% yield. Analysis by laser-desorption mass spectrometry (LD-MS) of samples from the elude reaction mixture revealed no scrambling within the limit of detection (1 part in 100). The self-condensation is compatible with a range of electron-withdrawing or -releasing substituents as well as substituents for building block applications (TMS-ethyne, ethyne, iodo, ester). The absence of any detectable scrambling in the self-condensation enables a simple purification. The synthesis readily affords gram quantities of pure, sterically unhindered trans-porphyrins in a process involving minimal chromatography.
