Acid-catalyzed oligomerization of 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrroles bearing C6F5, 2,6-Cl2C6H3, CF3 and CO2Et groups at β-positions was examined. The reaction of ethyl pyrrole-3-carboxylates gave a mixture of oligomers and type I isomers of porphyrinogens and hexaphyrinogens were isolated when the other β-substituents were sufficiently bulky, for example, mesityl, 2,6-Cl2C6H3 and C6F5 groups. On the other hand, the pyrroles having other electron-withdrawing groups afforded porphyrinogens as the only isolable products.
