METHOD FOR PRODUCING SELECTIVELY SUBSTITUTED CORROLE AND NEW SUBSTITUTED CORROLE

摘要

Corroles of formula I, wherein Ar is aryl or heteroaryl; M is absent or is a metal selected from Al, Ga, Co, Mn, Fe, Ru, Sn, Cr or Rh; ESUB2/SUB, ESUB3 /SUBand ESUB17/SUB, the same or different, each is H, SOSUB2/SUBCl, SOSUB3/SUBH, SOSUB2/SUBNRSUB1/SUBRSUB2/SUB, COSUB2/SUBH, COSUB2/SUBR, COCSUB1/SUB, CONRSUB1/SUBRSUB2/SUB, CHO or NOSUB2/SUB, R is alkyl or aryl, and RSUB1 /SUBand RSUB2/SUB, the same or different, each is H, alkyl, aryl or together with the N atom to which they are attached form a saturated 5-6 membered ring optionally containing a further heteroatom selected from O, S and N; and ESUB18 /SUBis H or CHO; or ESUB3 /SUBand ESUB18 /SUBare H and ESUB2 /SUBand ESUB17 /SUBare each SOSUB2/SUB, both SOSUB2 /SUBgroups being linked by a bridge RSUB3/SUBN(RSUB4/SUB)-phenyl-(RSUB4/SUB)NRSUB3/SUB, wherein RSUB3 /SUBis H, alkyl, phenyl or aralkyl, and RSUB4 /SUBis alkylene; and provided that at least one of ESUB2/SUB, ESUB3/SUB, ESUB17 /SUBand ESUB18 /SUBis not H, are provided. The corroles can be used for tumor detection and treatment, in photovoltaic devices, as catalysts and as intermediates.
