A synthetic route for the preparation of covalently-linked porphyrin-anthraquinone compounds as models for the phototrap in photosynthesis is described. 5-(2-anthraquinone)-15-(N,N-dimethylaminobenzal)-2,8,12,18-tetraethyl-3,7,13,17-tetramethylporphyrin (DPQ) and its derivatives are synthesized by condensation of 3,3'-diethyl-4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-dipyrrolylmethane with an appropriate aldehyde in good molecular orientation and higher yield.The structures of new compounds are determined by 1H NMR, UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analytical data.Some of the photophysical properties of the compounds are reported with reference to their use as models of the reaction centre in photosynthesis.
