Improved routes for the synthesis of face-to-face bismacrocycles in porphyrin and corrole series

subject

description

Face-to-face bismacrocycles involving porphyrinoid species are still of great interest owing to their versatile properties. Despite the fact that their syntheses generally involve several steps, numerous modifications have been made in their synthetic pathways thus allowing their preparation in gram quantities. Here we report on recent improvements we could propose especially for the synthesis of bisporphyrin, biscorrole and porphyrin-corrole derivatives.
