C02Me erythroetioporphyrin (2)(DPEP), and (c) a “rhodo-type” series, which has been shown2 to possess a benzoporphyrin skeleton. Recently, a 7, 7-butanoporphyrin has been iso-lated from Serpiano and other oil shales, 3 and the nickel (II) complexes of 2-desethyl-DPEP and three 7, 7-butanoporphyrins have been isolated from Julia Creek oil shales. 4 Porphyrins which occur in petroleumdeposits have long been believed to be derived by degradation of chlorophyll over the course of time, 5-7 and recent evidence4 appears to support this contention. Spectroscopic work has re-sulted in the conclusion8 that DPEP (2), deoxophyllo-erythrin, and itsmethyl ester, 3, are present in German Messel oil shale. Indeed, DPEP has been prepared in very low yield from pheophytin. 9 In response to a need for pure petroporphyrin markers, several syntheses of DPEP from monopyrroles have been described. Two approaches from pyrromethenes10, 11 gave DPEP in miniscule yieldsand with differing electronic absorption spectra. A third synthesis, 12 in 6% yield, from a-bilene bearing the intact exocyclic ring represented a dramatic improvement; most recently, Clezy and co-workers13 have described a synthesis of DPEP in which the exocyclic ring was added to a preformed porphyrin by way of a keto ester and thallium (III)-pro-moted cyclization. In this paper we describe a novel synthesis of DPEP (2)[by way of pyrroetioporphyfin XV (4)] and deoxyphylloerythrin methyl ester (3) in which the troublesome exocyclic ring is constructed on preformed porphyrins by way of a mercuration/palladium-olefin reaction.Results and Discussion It has previously been shown14 that zinc (II) or copper (II) derivatives of ß-unsubstituted porphyrins [such as zinc (II) deuteroporphyrin IX dimethyl ester,(5)] react with mer-curic acetate to give the corresponding mercurated porphyrin, eg, 6. Subsequent reaction with LiPdCl3 in ace-tonitrile and then with methylacrylate gave the bis acrylate 7. Demercuration of 6 with NaBD4 showed14 that the excessively high yields (approximately 125%) of 6 from 5 were due to contamination of the required product with the corresponding meso-mercurated derivatives; moreover, formation of two “monoacrylate” byproducts, the struc-tures of which were at that time unassigned, provided evidence of some unexpected side reactions in the other-wise clean acrylateformation from the mercurated porphyrin. In the earlier work14 4 molar equiv of mercuric acetate were used and a 37% yield of the bis acrylate 7 was obtained, compared with a combined yield of 25% for the “monoacrylates”. Subsequent use of 6 molar equiv of mercuric acetate afforded a combined yield of 48% of the “monoacrylates”, compared with only 25% of the bis acrylate 7. Larger excesses of mercuric acetate resulted in lowering of yields of all products.
