Synthesis of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2-amino-5-methoxyphenyl)-porphyrin: A versatile building block for porphyrin face selection

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.tetlet.2003.12.100

A new bis-faced substituted porphyrin has been prepared. The four hydroxyl groups on one side as well as the four amino functions on the other one allow at will, a different functionalization of each face of the macrocycle. The usefulness of this synthon is illustrated.
