Synthesis of a linear α-hydroxymethyl-pentapyrrole derivative and its cyclization to uroporphyrinogens

A linear pentapyrrole bearing α-hydroxymeythyl group in the terminal was synthesized by the stepwise coupling of α-free pyrrole with azafulvenium ion 6. When it was treated with a catalytic amount of p-toluensulfonic acid under anaerobic condition, followed by aerial oxidation of the products, a statistical mixture of uroporphyrin I-IV octamethyl esters was obtained. It is proposed that this transformation proceeds through a spiro-pyrrolenine as a key intermediate. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Isomerization of uroporphyrinogen I octamethyl ester through spiro- pyrrolenine intermediate

Treatment of uroporphyrinogen I octamethyl ester with 2- mercaptobenzothiazolylmethyl pyrrole derivative in the presence of silver (I) trifrate under anaerobic condition in dichloromethane for 20 h, followed by aerial oxidation of the products, gave a statistical mixture of uroporphyrin I~IV octamethyl esters. It was proposed that this transformation proceeds through a spiro-pyrrolenine as a key intermediate.

SYNTHESIS OF UROPORPHYRIN-III, AND RELATED HEPTA- AND PENTA-CARBOXYLIC PORPHYRINS BY MODIFICATIONS OF THE MACDONALD METHOD

A modification of the MacDonald route has been developed in which all four pyrrole units of uroporphyrin-III have been derived from the same conveniently prepared starting pyrrole.Related hepta- and penta-carboxylic porphyrins have also been synthesised by condensation of appropriate α-formyl pyrromethane-α'-carboxylic acids; in each case other porphyrins with different numbers of acidic side-chains were also produced but the desired products were easily separated (as their methyl esters) by h.p.l.c.
