Facile synthesis, characterization, and fluorescence studies of novel porphyrin appended thiazoles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/jhet.1009

A facile and high yielding synthesis of porphyrin appended thiazoles from the reaction of 5-(4-thiocarboxamidophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin with α-bromo ketones has been described. The fluorescence studies of synthesized porphyrin appended thiazoles in chloroform indicate that porphyrin π system is not greatly perturbed by substitution of a thiazole moiety at meso-phenyl ring even in the excited state.
