Treatment of protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester (12) with benzoyl peroxideaffords a mixyure of the four isomeric meso-benzoiloxy derivaties (13) These have been separated by h.p.l.c. and distinguished from each other by hydrolysis to the corresponding oxophlorins (oxyporphyrins),insertionof iron to form the oxyhaems (3),and oxidation by molecular oxygen to the corresponding biliverdins (7).
