(14) Typical Procedure for the Synthesis of meso-Substituted
Tetraarylalkynylporphyrin 9a
Porphyrins 711 and 812a were prepared according to the
reported methods. To a degassed solution of zinc(II)
5,10,15,20-tetraethynylporphyrin (8, 10 mg, 0.021 mmol),
1-(4-iodophenyl)-4-phenylnaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic
acid diethyl ester (6d, 75.4 mg, 0.137 mmol), and AsPh3 (12
mg, 0.038 mmol) in a mixture of anhyd THF (10 mL) and
Et3N (5.0 mL) was added Pd2(dba)3 (2.0 mg, 0.0020 mmol).
The reaction mixture was stirred at 50 °C for 4 h under an
argon atmosphere. The solvent was evaporated under
reduced pressure, and the crude product was purified by
column chromatography on silica gel using CHCl3 as an
eluent to give a dark green solid 9a (41.7 mg, 92%). 1H NMR
