Synthesis of Hydrocarbon-Strapped Porphyrins Containing Quinone and Phenolic Groups

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00233a011

A general synthesis of strapped porphyrins is described and is illustrated for porphyrins bearing quinone and phenol groups in the bridging strap, which is exclusively a polymethylene chain.The NMR and optical spectra of the strapped porphyrins are discussed.
