In basic solutions, the oxidised porphyrin 2 readily undergoes macrocyclic N-alkylation, with up to four bulky alkyl groups, including decyl and substituted benzyl moieties, being accomodated; an argument is presented to show that N-di-alkylation occurs on opposite nitrogen atoms, on the same side of the macrocycle.
