Palladium-Catalyzed β-Selective Direct Arylation of Porphyrins

摘要

Porphyrins are an important class of aromatic compounds that exhibit interesting optical and electrochemical properties and have attracted much attention as key components of functional materials and supramolecular architectures. Creation of new porphyrins that feature intriguing properties is hence essential in developing the chemistry and applications of functional π-rich molecules. Peripheral functionalization of porphyrins can effectively modify the electronic and steric nature of the parent porphyrins, and is thus useful when investigating new porphyrins.
