Abstract
Treatment of dipyrromethane-1,9-dicarboxylic acids with triethyl orthoformate and trifluoroacetic acid gives the expected symmetrically substituted porphyrin, along with small amounts of meso-formyl and meso-diformyl-porphyrins. The 5,15 regioselectivity of the formyl groups in the disubstituted product and NOE experiments suggest that serendipitous formylation takes place at the intermediate porphodimethene stage. © 1994.
