posted on 2006-12-22, 00:00 authored by Chao Liu, Dong-Mei Shen, Zhuo Zeng, Can-Cheng Guo, Qing-Yun ChenA facile and efficient synthesis of various novel fluorinated extended porphyrins has been developed.
The method is based on the direct intramolecular cyclization and reductive defluorinative aromatization
of readily available β-perfluoroalkylated porphyrins by highly selective C−F bond activation under
modified sulfinatodehalogenation reaction conditions. Various β-(ω-chloroperfluoroalkyl)-meso-tetraphenylporphyrins prepared readily by sulfinatodehalogenation reaction or palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling
reaction were treated with Na2S2O4/K2CO3 (10:10 equiv per RF tail) in DMSO at 100 °C for 10−30 min,
resulting in good yields of novel β-tetrafluorobenzo-meso-tetraphenylporphyrins. That further reduction
of C−F bonds of the products was not observed under the optimal conditions indicates the high selectivity
of the reaction. It was found that the amount of sodium dithionite, base, and central metal ion of substrate
porphyrins play important roles in the reaction. Detailed mechanism investigations and systematic studies
on X-ray crystallographic structure and photophysical and electrochemical properties of a series of new
tetrafluorobenzoporphyrins are also reported.
