Among other reasons, oligopyrroles directly linked at the «-positions are of interest as possible precursors to expanded porphyrins. 1 In principle, such species could allow access to a range of macrocyclic products not obtainable using simpler pyrrolic precursors. For example, 2, 2'-bipyrrole (2), the “dimer” of pyrrole 1, has been incorporated into porphycenes, 1 2 rubyrins, 3 4and rosarins, 4 as well as into larger Schiff base-derived macrocyclic systems. 5 Similary, 2, 5-bis (4-propyl-2-pyrrolyl) thiophene (3a), a heteroatom analogue of terpyrrole 3b, has been used to construct a large, porphycene-like macrocycle. 6 At present, however, no macrocyclic systems are known which contain a “pure”, all-aza terpyrrole such as 3b, nor are any known which derive from an «-linked quaterpyrrole such as 4. In fact, the latter class of oligopyrroles, unlike the terpyrroles, 7’8 are completely unknown at present. Therefore, we set out to develop a synthesis of such tetrapyrrolic systems and in this paper wish to report the first successful synthesis of an «-linked quaterpyrrole of generalized structure 4.
