Oxidative rearrangement of 2-/4-monoacetyl- and 2,4-diacetlydeuteroporphyrin IX dimethyl esters by methanolic thallic nitrate trihydrate in presence of conc, nitric acid furnished the corresponding mono- and dimethoxycarbonylmethylporphyrins, respectively.

Treatment of 2,4-diacetyldeuteroporphyrin-IX dimethyl ester (3) with sodium methoxide in methanol-d affords the 1,3-di-(trideuteriomethyl) derivative in which the acetyl methyls and propionate methylenes adjacent to the ester carbonyl have also been deuteriated.The acetyl methyls and propionates can be back-exchanged under acidic conditions, but the 1- and 3-methyls retain their isotope labeling.Reduction with sodium borohydride, followed by dehydration affords the corresponding 1,3-di-(trideuteriomethyl)-protoporphyrin-IX dimethyl ester (4) with approximately 95percent deuteriation in the methyls.Insertion of iron and hydrolysis affords the corresponding hemin (15), suitable for n.m.r. studies of reconstituted heme proteins.A similar sequence of reactions with 2- and 4- monoacetyldeuteroporphyrins (5) and (6) gives the 1- and 3-(trideuteriomethyl) derivatives and these are, in turn, further acetylated and transformed into the corresponding mono-trideuteriomethylprotoporphyrins (7) and (8), and hemins (22) and (23).
