Pyrroles substituted with long alkoxy groups are prepared by the reaction of iminodiacetic acid dimethyl ester and dimethyl oxalate and the subsequent alkylation. These pyrroles are good precursor molecules for the corresponding porphyrins, which are expected to form an ordered columnar mesophase and are able to co-ordinate to various metals.
