In recent years expanded porphyrins have emerged as a promising class of molecules in light of their optical, electrochemical, and coordination properties. 1 Continuing synthetic efforts have culminated in the developments of a variety of large pyrrole-containing macrocycles. 2 Nevertheless, the synthesis of meso-aryl-substituted expanded porphyrins with more than four pyrrolic subunits still remains an important subject, since they could be considered as the “legitimated” members of the expanded porphyrin family as judged from the wide use of meso-tetraaryl porphyrins. Recent findings of concurrent formation of variants such as corrole 1, 3 N-confused porphyrin 2, 4 and sapphyrin 35 in the Rothemund-type porphyrin synthesis have tempted us to reinvestigate the cyclization reaction (Chart 1). Herein, we report a facile synthesis of a series of meso-aryl-substituted expanded porphyrins by the acid-catalyzed condensation of pentafluorobenzaldehdye and pyrrole.A series of meso-aryl-substituted expanded porphyrins were synthesized under the modified Lindsey conditions, 6 at relatively high concentration, 67 mM in both the reactants in CH2Cl2 with BF3 ‚OEt2 (4.2 mM). After the oxidation with DDQ, repeated chromatography over a silica gel column led to isolation of distinct products including porphyrin 4 (11∼ 12%), N-fused pentaphyrin NFP5 7 (14∼ 15%), hexaphyrin 68 (16∼ 20%), heptaphyrin 79 (4∼ 5%), octaphyrin 8 (5∼ 6%), nonaphyrin 9 (2∼ 3%), and even higher homologues, 10 as judged by their respective 1H NMR and FAB-MS data (Scheme 1).
