Studies on the tetramerization of substituted monopyrroles to type I porphyrins
Pichon-Santander,Scott
, p. 6967 - 6969 (2002)
Investigation of the tetramerization of pyrroles bearing two different electron-donating groups as substituents led to the rapid preparation under slightly acidic conditions of a porphyrin analog family with a high ratio of type I isomer for enzymatic act
Syntheses of type-I porphyrins via monopyrrole tetramerization
Nguyen, Liem T.,Smith, Kevin M.
, p. 7177 - 7180 (2007/10/03)
Treatment of 2-[(N,N-dialkylamino)methyl]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acids (e.g. 10,12 or 11,13) in methanol with K3Fe(CN)6 gives type-I porphyrins (etioporphyrin-I 7, coproporphyrin-I tetramethyl ester 16, respectively); with pyrroles 10,12 the product 7 is contaminated with about 8% of other type-isomer(s).

A new porphyrin synthesis starting from nitroalkenes or their equivalents is described. For example, octaethylporphyrin, coproporphyrin, porphyrin-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 octapropionic acid, and 2,7,12,17 tetraarylporphyrin are prepared in good yield from readily available materials such as 1-nitropropane, nitroethane, nitromethane, and aldehydes.
SYNTHESIS OF UROPORPHYRIN-III, AND RELATED HEPTA- AND PENTA-CARBOXYLIC PORPHYRINS BY MODIFICATIONS OF THE MACDONALD METHOD
Chakrabarty, M.,Ali, S. A.,Philip, G.,Jackson, A. H.
, p. 1199 - 1204 (2007/10/02)
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.
Biosynthesis of Porphyrins and Related Macrocycles. Part 15. Chemical and Enzymic Formation of Uroporphyrinogen Isomers from Unrearranged Aminomethylpyrromethane: Separation of Isomeric Coproporphyrin Esters
Battersby, Alan R.,Buckley, Dennis G.,Johnson, Dawid W.,Mander, Lewis N.,McDonald, Edward,Williams, D. Clive
, p. 2779 - 2785 (2007/10/02)
The unrearranged pyrromethane (1) is transformed chemically mainly into uro'gen-I with a smaller amount of uro'gen-IV but only traces of uro'gen-III are formed.Uro'gen-I is produced via a tetrapyrrolic (bilane) intermediate and when the diaminase-cosynthetase enzyme system from Euglena gracilis is present, this intermediate is converted into uro'gen-III.The rearrangement step for this conversion has the same characteristics found earlier for the natural biosynthetic process from porphobilinogen.Pyrromethane (1) is not a direct biosynthetic precursor of uro'gen-III and reasons are advanced why this is understandable.Methods are developed based on high pressure liquid chromatography for the separation of all four isomeric coproporphyrin esters.
