Reaction of divalent and trivalent cobalt complexes of octaethylporphyrin (OEP·H2) with diazoacetaldehyde gave N,Co-(formylmethylene)OEPCoIIIX (X = Cl-, OAc-, ClO4-) which were reduced electrochemically to afford N-(formylmethyl)OEP·H; N-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)OEP·H and N,N′-(1,2-vinylidene)OEP were obtained from N-(formylmethyl)OEP·H under acidic conditions. NaBH4 reduction of N-(formylmethyl)OEP·H gave N-(2-hydroxyethyl)OEP·H. These N-alkylporphyrins provide a firm basis for the characterization of some suicide metabolites of cytochrome P-450.
