Inspired by the gigantic cyclic arrangements of bacteriochlorophylls and chlorophylls in photosynthetic light-harvesting antenna, considerable efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of cyclic porphyrin oligomers (CPOs).[1] Among these, directly 1, 3-butadiyne-bridged conjugated CPOs have a special place owing to their intriguing structural, electronic, and optical properties. Usually, effective macrocyclizations require synthetic tricks. Sugiura et al. used L-shaped 5, 10-diaryl-15, 20-diethynylporphyrin as a key corner part for the synthesis of square meso-to-meso butadiyne-bridged planar CPOs.[2] Anderson and co-workers developed an elegant template-directed synthesis of meso-to-meso butadiynebridged circular CPOs using linear 5, 15-diaryl-10, 20-diethynylporphyrin precursors,[3] in which the structure of the template–substrate complex dictates the major CPO product. This approach has evolved into a conceptually new Verniertemplate synthesis.[3d, f] We have also reported Cu-mediated oxidative dimerization reaction of 5, 10, 15-triaryl-2, 18-diethynylporphyrins 1M that provided β-to-β 1, 3-butadiynebridged cyclic porphyrin dimers 2M in good yields.[4] It has been recognized that Pd-catalyzed oxidative coupling of acetylene can produce different products from the usual Cu-mediated reaction. As a representative example, Haley and co-workers have reported metal-dependent selective synthesis of two different dehydrobenzoannulenes by the intramolecular coupling reactions of single precursors, which is owing to the difference of their reaction mechanisms.[5] While still under debate, the mechanism of Cu-mediated oxidative butadiyne synthesis is proposed to involve a dimeric Cu acetylide arranged in a pseudo-trans configuration prior to reductive elimination (Scheme 1).[6] On the other hand, in Pdcatalyzed reactions, two ethynyl groups are proposed to be arranged in a cis geometry for reductive elimination.[7] In contrast to Haley and co-workers intramolecular reactions, metal-catalyzed intermolecular oxidative butadiyne formation is more difficult to control.[8, 9] Herein, we report preferential formation of trimers 3M by Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions of 1M.A solution of 1Ni in toluene and diisopropylamine was stirred at room temperature in the presence of catalytic amounts of PdCl2 (PPh3) 2 and CuI and two equivalents of 1, 4-benzoquinone as the oxidant. Separation by preparative gel permeation chromatography provided 2Ni [4] and 3Ni and in 9.3 and 72% yields, respectively (Scheme 2).[10] The MALDITOF mass spectrum of 3Ni displayed a parent ion peak at 2933.39 (calcd for C198H210N12Ni3, m/z 2933.49 [M]+).
