Two diverse series of nickel(II) β-iminoporphyrins were prepared in good yields by the reaction of corresponding 2-formyl-and 2-amino-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrins with primary amines and aldehydes, respectively, in toluene containing a catalytic amount of La(OTf)3 under reflux conditions. These 2-iminoporphyrins further served as precursors to construct novel nickel(II) complexes of β-substituted porphyrinic thiazolidinones in moderate yields on reaction with mercaptoacetic acid in refluxing toluene. All the synthesized porphyrins have been characterized on the basis of spectral data analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
